WebTrack - A new service
provided by Airservices Australia that helps track aircraft noise
levels.
Using WebTrack you can track the
flight activity in to and out of Melbourne International, Essendon
and Moorabbin airports, along with information about each aircraft. Its an innovative system providing
the community with information on where and how high aircraft fly,
as well as noise levels of these operations.
It allows members of the public
access to detailed information on aircraft operations around major
airports.
WebTrak is part of the largest
integrated Noise and Flight Path Monitoring System in the world.
How does it work?
WebTrak uses information from
air traffic control secondary surveillance radars to monitor
aircraft:- within 55km of the airport up to a height of 3000m
above ground level.
Aircraft noise data is downloaded
daily from noise monitors strategically located about the
communities close to the airport.
The information is then displayed on
a detailed map (road or aerial) which enables the user to zoom down
to their street level.
In Current Flights mode you can view
current operations (delayed by 40 minutes for aviation security
reasons) around the airport.
In Replay Mode you can access flight
information and noise data for the previous two weeks.
