Hi,
Looking for some info. Been a user now for about a month in Central Ma. See a lot of traffic coming and going from New York, New Jersey, and Boston. What I haven't seen yet is any traffic going to Bradley in Hartford or TF Green in Providence. Anybody have any idea why?
Thanks

What are you expecting to see (which operators, what aircraft types, etc) ?
All of those flights would appear in your list of My Flights, but not necessarily on the radar display. Not many domestic flights use ADS-B reporting, which is where the information for the display comes from.
I see dozens of overflights of Albany every day, but only one or two planes that actually fly two or from Albany use ADS-B. I can track one UPS flight from KALB to KBDL in the evening. That's all!
In a couple of years, ADS-B should become mandatory in congested U.S. airspace, so the situation will only improve for us RB users.
BTW, if you really want to see what's happening in real time, and help others to do the same, check out www.planeplotter.com. (I am not involved with PP except as a happy user.)

Operators will have until 2020 to equip with ADS-B, although I would expect many to do it sooner.

Hi,
i dont understand this.
If this occur ours RB dont work 100%?
I mean we will loose many traffic or is the opposite of that?
Thx for your explanation.
Regards.

Thanks for the replies! I guess I am just surprised that I haven't seen any traffic to and or from the two airports. If they are mostly domestic then I guess that would explain it. When they all have the ADS-B I'm sure that it will change what I see. I do see mostly international flights coming and going from here to Europe, east coast to the west coast etc. It is quite a device! Very pleased with it so far!
