OLG Flight tracking but not radar, it is ADS-B. Nextgen air traffic control will use ADS-B Automatic dependent surveillance—broadcast (ADS–B) is a surveillance technology in which an aircraft determines its position via satellite navigation and periodically broadcasts it, enabling it to be tracked.

You are correct and I know well of ADS. I used RADAR as slang......... Same type of tracking used for commercial ships and railroads. Most folks when they see the term 'sky-writing', think of smoke trails from the aircraft. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
