Primarily for general aviation discussion, but other aviation topics are also welcome.

NATS is not, of course, the only ANSP/ATSP. Neither is it the 'be-all-and-end-all'. It is simply one of a number. There are plenty of others out there...

The aircraft below is a Cirrus at FL100 out of Coventry. The coverage south of Birmingham is not that good, but then again yesterday I could see aircraft in the circuit at Wellesbourne.

Why would the trail from the Cirrus be so incomplete?

As mentioned earlier it is a stripped down version of an app that was already in use within the company. I expect costs would have been minimal.

Finally got to look at it in daylight.

Nice to see G-OEGO flying.

Be nice if it didn't:

1. reset the maximum altitude every time one changes the zoom

2. Rotate the map. Who ever wants a map except north up?

Great fun otherwise. It even shows little grass runways as you zoom in.
