Title: Cap Aircraft Tracking
Post by: jfkspotting on October 16, 2017, 12:08:45 AM
For those of you that use Flight radar 24/FR24, the ipad/iphone app, if you go to:

Filter>Airline>"Civil Air Patrol">Select>Apply,

All flying CAP airplanes will be found.

Wow, I never knew.  Always had to type it in the search box.

I'm not sure this is correct. Have you actually seen CAP aircraft on here?

If so I would assume they would only be via ADS-B hits on the G-1000 equipped planes with the GTX-33 and 1090ES.

CAP has a six-pack 172 with ADS-B?

It's a neat feature, and we've kept an eye on o-rides and missions in the past - kinda cool
to give a cadet an image of their flight path after the flight.

I've found it to be very inconsistent though.

Not just the G1000-equipped aircraft are getting ADS-B'd
