AJAX Flight Display

Logo by Greg Raiz.


The live flight display was recently updated to show active aircraft in a Google Map on the website, but this is only an intermediate step. Using the latest web technology, a new flight display map is being developed that will use Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX). The result? A live flight display that updates aircraft positions on the map with heading-oriented icons without page refreshes, and an intelligent backend that reduces server load to boot! I'm not aware of any other VA who has this kind of ACARS display. Stay tuned!
