I don't know if anybody else has the problem, but with most US airports, it asks for a code

[louieaw]

not a code, a logon

[RedFlash]

Sorry I haven't responded lately, but I've been away. All of the american airports ask for an access code

Please refrain from tactless jokes in the future - I am from New York, and find your terrorist comment offensive. Other than that, this is an interesting instructable.

This is NOT live!! it is a replay of flights recorded in and out of a particular airport but does not include the last 2 days. Anything before that can be seleted to view. Still, something to pass the time with.

[RedFlash]

It is live as it says the time on the sidebar and when I google the flight number of a particular plane, the information on the page says: Just taken off or the time that it is about to land is close to the finishing time of the flight

[kroner]

When I tried it for Heathrow, the date in the calendar was for 2 days ago and the dates for the current day and the day before were greyed out and unselectable.

[RedFlash]

Yeah, it doesn't work for heathrow, but it works for the Australian airports.

The sad fact is that the information on this site is nearly all faked, I have lived near Heathrow for a lot of years and know it and BAA very well. I have looked up lots of aircraft after waiting the two day "security" period and not found any data matching what I actually saw in the sky. If you don't believe me ask someone who lives near Heathrow about the night flights at 3:45 am and then try to find one in Webtrack, you won't find it. It's just more BAA misinformation like making changes to the flight-paths when something big is announced so that it goes unreported, as when T5 was opened, the flight paths changes went unnoticed, but they had not planned on the sort of sad publicity it got. The two day “security” period is just to make you think its real data but it isn’t, BAA have a massive department that’s dedicated to putting out this sort of misinformation and has done for years. If you enjoy playing with Webtrack then it’s harmless I suppose but don’t think that you are looking at any real data, sorry.

It is real time. I googled a flight number that had just taken off from Brisbane airport (AUS) and the flight details from another website that tracks the flight

[xadevox]

where do i type the code for the airport?

[liteoner]

http://syd.webtrak-lochard.com/template/index.html

And you change the "syd" to the IATA code of the airport.

[Derin]

Does the ICAO work?

[Derin]

I realized the ICAO code does not work.

Does anyone know a way to view the US traffic without authentication?

Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta (ATL) has their own web site to listen to the tower, the center, or the departure control and to view the various radar screens. There is a slight time delay but it is still pretty amazing!
