Track file format

[Richard W]

Hoped to get a few P3i pings from aircraft visiting Expo at Sywell from the south, got three sets over two days, only one with #es in track file, which was G-URMS.  The strange thing is that it shows as both G-URMS and GURMS, alternating in batches in the same way as ADS-B Reg-ID and Flight-ID.  What is going on here, I didn't think PAW had a way of configuring both types of ID?

Richard,

Where an aircraft only has a Reg and not a separate Flight ID, PAW displays this in both formats where you have 'Alternate' selected in (Configure).

I presume g-urms also has a mode S transponder.
Pilotaware will associate the data by using the ICAO code.
Looking up on ginfo this is Carl Parkinson who is active

Thx

Thanks, partially understood.  Do Mode-S messages contain an ID string, as well as the ICAO six hex character address, then?

I flew to Sywell on the Friday.....no contacts on the P3i at all.....I know it was windy and not as many flew in as was anticipated but I thought I would have had one ping !!
G-MASS.......

Let's hope they sold lots of PAWs at Expo, then   I assume there was a stand.

Didn't see any representation from PilotAware at the Sywell Expo but I guess the stand space was a fortune to buy and they will be at the LAA one instead like last year !!

You basically started at £200 per square metre, then built the price up from that.  I toyed with it but worked out just too expensive.

I was getting lots of traffic alerts from the bottom of 21R as I taxied in!

Way too expensive I'm afraid, we are trying to run PilotAware as lean as possible.
As Jeremy says £200 / SqM

Weren't they running it live on the SkyDemon stand ? We've had some enquiries and sold a bunch to people that saw it at Sywell.

[Paul_Sengupta]

Yes, Sky Demon had it running a big screen.

As far as I know sky demon have had there own device for a few years now but it's just an ADSB receiver I was always told by Tim when I asked him "Are you going to make that ADSB receiver avalble? Yes was his reply we are develaping it.... " then comes along PAW. So it could be there own device in use, but not sure.

No, it was definitely PilotAware

That's good. The divce I had seen on there stand a couple of years ago was probably just used for demo the Sky Demon product. Now they are using the PAW it's a grate advertisement.
