New ACARS Map



Firefox users can now view a live ACARS map that displays a live view of the current position of AeroTexas aircraft. Flights are depicted with standard ARTCC symbology that reflects the pilot, altitude and speed. Altitude is in 100's of feet, and speed is in knots. Mouse over a target to get more information about the flight, including originating airport, destination, distance to go, and estimated time of arrival. This new feature can only be viewed with Firefox, and for Members Only.

Updates

Hi folks - 95% of the public area of the website is now complete. There is still some work to be done in the members only area, but I'd say 75% of that is complete now. As a member you can now login and see every entry in your logbook (something you couldn't do with the old website). Members are presented with a summary of their log on their home page - total flights, miles, etc. Planning to release a new version of ATAVS in a few weeks too that will more fully support the new website.
