#skyvector — Public Fediverse posts

I wrote a tool to convert a #SkyVector flight plan into a #GoogleEarth movie tour, to help prep for VFR cross-country flights. Free to use at jhchou.github.io/flight_plan_... Runs fully in the client from GitHub Pages thanks to the magic of #rstats, #webr and #shinylive. #aviation #studentpilot

I have been working on and off for a few weeks now filtering #LBand #ACARS messages for any that contain flight plans (#FPN) and then using #javascript to clean them up and convert them into #SkyVector URLs.
Getting better results and its getting amazing!
Classic example this week....
We got this FPN via our bot, then about 1/2 hour latter the aircraft took off and few the exact plan.
We are (for some flights) getting to the point of not just tracking/following, but KNOWING!

I'm still tinkering with the 'auto-generation' of #SkyVector URL's from L-Band 'FPN' (Flight plan) ACARS messages.
I saw this one come in and found it interesting in how I have not seen this sort of flight before.
