skybook Flight Tracking generates a comprehensive route plot extracted directly from each flight plan. It uses positioning data taken from real-time ACARS and/or ADS-B position reports to monitor each aircraft during the voyage.
Compare actual flight progress against the planned route on a global display and tracking map with the functionality to show entire fleet or focus on a single journey.
Flight tracking has an array of impressive features. Such as the ability to visualise weather and NOTAM conditions from different flight level altitudes. Stay ahead of any arising weather forecast issues by utilising the WX period slider.
Creating a strong global awareness of all real-time visual flights you are following.
Real-time weather layers, which also feature on the skybook Electronic Flight Bag, gives flight operations a better understanding of current and emerging issues:
Visualise environment factors such as airfield data, FIRS, North Atlantic Tracks and Graticule.
Combining flight, environment and weather filters makes flight tracking a must have solution for flight followers and ops teams.
Real-time tracking functionality allows the sending of alerts when flights deviate from their planned route based on the airlines OFP.
Alerts are displayed prominently within both the Flight Tracking software and Dispatch Portal. Instant awareness ensures that potential issues are dealt with quickly.
During flight watch duties, tracking specific aircraft is made easier with aircraft colour coding:
Blue - On the ground 15 minutes pre-flight and post-flight
White - Planned position based on the flight plan
Green - Actual position of the aircraft
Red - Aircraft has deviated from planned route
Safety and accuracy are paramount to airlines and aviation companies. Not only is it essential to know the location of aircraft within a fleet but also the environmental factors that pilots face in-flight.
Flight Tracking uses actual time global positioning data, to help flight dispatchers and operators visualise their current flights. Providing vital insights of flight status, on-time performance, environmental and weather factors, ensuring your airline is fully GADSS compliant.
