FlightAirMap

FlightAirMap is a fork of Barrie Spotter https://github.com/barriespotter/Web_App with map, airspaces, METAR, PDO and ADS-B support. Browse through the data based on a particular aircraft, airline or airport to search through the database. See extensive statistics such as most common aircraft type, airline, departure & arrival airport and busiest time of the day, or just explore flights.

It can be used with Dump1090 or any SBS source. Can also be used with IVAO sources like whazzup.txt, phpvms,...

It also support glidernet APRS source.

Install

Web install/Update

(This is the recommanded way to install)

Use install/index.php

Console install

• Create a mysql database.
• Populate the database with db/*.sql
• supply require/settings.php with your database credentials.
• run install/populate_all.php (You should go to http://www.virtualradarserver.co.uk/ and http://pp-sqb.mantma.co.uk/ to read the licences. If you find databases with better licences contact me) or install/populate_ivao.php if you use IVAO as datasource

Data Sources

You can choose FlightAware OR ADS-B in SBS1 (BaseStation) format AND/OR ACARS from acarsdec. (FlightAware is no more tested, I don't have a paid API account)

FlightAware Api Key

• get yourself a flightAware api key http://flightaware.com/commercial/flightxml/
• supply require/settings.php with this key
• run cron.php

ADS-B (real flights)

• You can use dump1090 https://github.com/mutability/dump1090 with a RTL dongle, Radarcape deltadb.txt or aircraftlist.json, or wazzup file, or /action.php/acars/data of phpvms...
• run cron-sbs.php (The name is not really good, this should be run one time like a daemon, use a init script or screen)

ACARS (only messages from real flights)

• You have to use acarsdec http://sourceforge.net/projects/acarsdec/ : acarsdec -N 127.0.0.1:9999 -r 0 131.525 131.550 131.725
• run cron-acars.php (also a daemon)

APRS (real flights)

• You can user APRS server from glidernet like aprs.glidernet.org:10152

IVAO (virtual flights)

• You can use as source a whazzup.txt file like : http://api.ivao.aero/getdata/whazzup/whazzup.txt

VATSIM (virtual flights)

• You can use as source a vatsim-data.txt file like : http://info.vroute.net/vatsim-data.txt
