sysrun/FlightAirMap

Open source project displaying aircrafts on a map. Browse through the data based on a particular aircraft, airline or airport to search through the database or see extensive statistics. Can use ADS-B in SBS1 format (like dump1090, Radarcape,...), some IVAO sources (whazzup.txt, phpvms,...), or/and ACARS (from acarsdec) as datasource.

FlightAirMap

FlightAirMap is a fork of Barrie Spotter https://github.com/barriespotter/Web_App with map, airspaces, PDO and ADS-B support. Browse through the data based on a particular aircraft, airline or airport to search through the database. See extensive statistics such as most common aircraft type, airline, departure & arrival airport and busiest time of the day, or just explore flights.

Install

Web install/Update

(This is the recommanded way to install)

Use install/index.php

Console install

• Create a mysql database.
• Populate the database with db/*.sql
• supply require/settings.php with your database credentials.
• run install/populate_all.php (You should go to http://www.virtualradarserver.co.uk/ and http://pp-sqb.mantma.co.uk/ to read the licences. If you find databases with better licences contact me) or install/populate_ivao.php if you use IVAO as datasource

Data Sources

You can choose FlightAware OR ADS-B in SBS1 (BaseStation) format AND/OR ACARS from acarsdec. (FlightAware is no more tested, I don't have a paid API account)

FlightAware Api Key

• get yourself a flightAware api key http://flightaware.com/commercial/flightxml/
• supply require/settings.php with this key
• run cron.php

ADS-B

• You can use dump1090 https://github.com/mutability/dump1090 with a RTL dongle, Radarcape deltadb.txt or aircraftlist.json, or wazzup file, or /action.php/acars/data of phpvms...
• run cron-sbs.php (The name is not really good, this should be run one time like a daemon, use a init script or screen)

ACARS

• You have to use acarsdec http://sourceforge.net/projects/acarsdec/ : acarsdec -N 127.0.0.1:9999 -r 0 131.525 131.550 131.725
• run cron-acars.php (also a daemon)
