RealADSB vs KnowTAM

RealADSB app is intended for stationary observers of local air traffic. It can consume traffic feed generated by adsb_hub or adsb_hub3 server applications. With some limitations traffic feed in SBS-1 BaseStation format (port 30003) is also supported. For example Stratux ADS-B device or ADSBx feeder can produce such feed. Another option to get traffic feed is to use Airplanes.live integration. That could be a good way to start using app because such option doesn't require additional hardware. You can setup traffic feed yourself or use one of the public feeds covering Germany, UK and New York. adsb_hub server application is using Java runtime and can run on PC, Mac or Raspberry Pi. It can work on top of FlightAware, FR24 feeders or generate feed using cheap USB adapter and external antenna.

There is a way to search/filter aircrafts by tail number, callsign, type, altitude in both list and on map. Additionally 2 layers with airports and weather are available on map. For each airframe following basic parameters shown: * Speed, Altitude, Heading, Rate of climb/descend, Squawk and for most of them there is additional information: * Tail number, Callsign, ICAO type, Origin/Destination, Photo If information about tail number or type of aircraft is missing you can easily add it right inside the app. This change will be automatically shared across all devices that using same iCloud account.

WHAT'S INSIDE • Flashcards with the answer, a CFI explanation of the "why," the regulation or handbook reference, and the exact FAA ACS code each card maps to, all written to the Airman Certification Standards. • "Refer to the figure" questions on real FAA images: sectionals, instrument and approach plates, airport signs and markings, and weather diagrams. • Multiple-choice quizzes by subject area that don't just mark you wrong; they highlight exactly why each wrong answer is wrong, with instant feedback scored against the 70% FAA passing mark. • Full-length practice exams built like the real thing: a short question with three lettered choices, timed, scored against the 70% passing mark, with Private exams drawn to the FAA's subject blueprint so the mix matches the real test. • A study plan paced to your test date: tell KnowTAM your rating and when your written is, and it sets each day's new cards and reviews, shows whether you're on track, and tells you when to take a practice exam. • Spaced repetition that brings back the cards you miss and spreads out the ones you know, so you reach "mastered" and stay there. • Checkride / oral-exam sets that drill the way a Designated Pilot Examiner actually asks.
