How is Location of a Flight or Aircraft Tracked- (ADS-B Technology)



ADS-B  (Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast) system is widely used globally for real-time tracking of flights. Currently around 60% of passenger aircrafts are equipped with ADS-B transponder. When in flight the aircraft gets its GPS location from the satellite in space. Then ADS-B transponder in the aircraft now transmits the GPS location details (and other information including speed, vertical speed, Skuawk signal etc.) to nearby aircrafts and receivers on land. ADS-B signal is received by the receiver and information is analyzed and sent to base stations (including live tracking systems, ATC).

  3. Points to remember:
    1. Do not take any last-minute decisions to buy anything.
    2. Rally is a good time to get in and get out same day.
    3. Some profit is better than any loss, and a little loss is better than bigger loss – that you can recover later.
    4. Being an intra day or pattern day trader is safe choice then holding for a few days. (3 June 2019 Monday, I got in at 28.90+ range (previous close was 27.40!) got out at 29.30 all within 30 minutes which was just the right time and later in the day it reached down back to 27.50-60 level. Making it close in green but still not worth holding.
    Don’t know when to hold, buy and get out. (These will remain your biggest problems as an investor!)

    14 June 2019
    This was the day where things started to shatter. So far I have been doing good as a share investor, after all I did make $2000 in less than a month and had a record of 10 trade cycles that were in green. Yes I made 10 profitable trades in a row. That must be something! And I was on cloud nine- making money was like printing it nicely.
    But today was a bit different, I have been looking at the pre-market data and was sure, it was going to be great. In a rift of adventure I invested in something that I did not know very well. BYND even though, I have been looking at this stock for a few days, I was not sure I it moved. But anyways I invested thinking what I was doing was right. It was on a rally and I just went on, but bang it goes first time. It started going down, I actually bought it at a peak to my horror! But I guess the worst was yet to come.

  4. Gillette Castle state park:
    We went from: Windsor CT
    To: Gillette Castle state park
    Distance 41 miles, 55 minutes
    You can make a day trip from Hartford/Windsor or nearby area to this state park.
    Activities:
    • View the presentation film in visitor center (you don’t need tickets to view it)
    • Tour the castle, (tickets are $6 per adult $2 for children as on 29 May 29, 2019). It is a good look at the history of the park and about the life style of the actor.
    • Hike to the Connecticut river down the trails.
    • Picnic area – the park has lots of dining tables in Grand Central (small cottage just near the castle), visitor center (which has a very nice view of valley), up on the hill near car parking (you can drive your car up by circling around via exit route and near pond which is just near entrance to the park.
    • Just outside the castle is scenic view of Connecticut river and the valley, this is a must see for views and photography.
    Boston Commons: Garden of Flags
    We visited from Windsor CT
    Distance 104 miles, a little less than 2 hours
    Parking: it gets messy looking for cost effective parking options in any downtown. I made advanced booking on Spot Hero app for a parking garage in the area. For a Sunday parking I got a rate of $9 which is a very good deal. The range it showed for different options was for $8-$60 until day end.
    We went during Memorial Day weekend, last Monday of May As we wanted to see the Garden of Flags which is organized every year. 37000 flags were planted in Boston Common State Park in downtown Boston. This is a view!
    • Picnic: you can have home cooked food and have it in park area, there are no tables but lot of space.
    • Other points of interest that we visited:
    • Swan Boat Rides in Garden
    • There are lot of other points of interest in the park area, just take a stroll.
    • Quincy Market: a place with lot of food options, it is 10 minutes walk from the Boston Commons. I must say it is a paradise for food lovers.
    • There are chess boards outside on tables, you can play a full game or just couple of moves.
    • Massacre site: a place of historical importance and is now kind of lost in the hustle bustle of city life

  5. Rivers Bend Windsor CT
    Rivers Bend is a very nice community located in Windsor town of CT. Lush and green and having a river going through make it a living place close to nature. The apartments are nice and spacious each having a deck or patio. There is a big swimming pool towards the drive to the river with fitness center, which also has a indoor pool and a big play area with swings for kids. It is very calm and peaceful in the community and you will enjoy living here. There is one assigned parking space for each apartment and lots of additional parking spaces that are not numbered for visitors.
    It is located close to Park and Ride lot where you can park your vehicle for free for your daily work commute to nearby areas like downtown Hartford. It is also located on express bus route number 30 from Hartford to Bradley International Airport. It is just adjacent to Interstate 91 from Hartford CT towards Springfield MA. In all a good location for living close to Hartford with sufficient personal space.

    Windsor CT
    Windsor is a town near Hartford CT which is also known as the insurance capital of the world as it has lot of big insurance organizations present here. The area has cluster of many beautiful towns that offer American living – we moved here from Jersey City, New Jersey due to work and as we were looking to explore American way of living closer to New York City area.

    Area has access to all facilities that you will need for a comfortable living, with natural beauty around, ample shopping options. Commuting to work could be where you will need to make adjustments as public transport is limited.

    This area is again having a big enough Indian community, As a vegetarian Indian as I am, we have lots of Indian grocery stores and restaurants that serve to your needs. So it has been very comfortable on food and eating aspect. There are lots of temples around in the towns of Newington, Hartford, Glastunbury and Middletown about which you can read at this link.

    Windsor is a peaceful town on Route 91 and is on the way to Springfield MA from Hartford CT.
