Guest DickNL Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hi all, I am an ACARS and HFDL logger from the Netherlands. At times I also use Planeplotter to monitor traffic in other parts of the world. Based on http://scooterhound.com/WWWR/planes/ there are several ADS-B users in eastern Australia but apparently none in NZ. Does this mean that there are no SBS users in NZ or just that the do not use Planeplotter? Cheers, Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chainsaw Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hi Dick, I suspect the NZ authorities may not like active tracking such as SBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darren Masters Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I did the ATC for a while live here from AKL but I am sure I would have the same reaction if trying ADS-B. I was basically told to cease the transmissions by the NZ Govt or face legal action. I chose to cease the transmissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DickNL Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hi guys, thanks for the response, Darren's post clearly explains it. Good choice Darren, I'm sure we all would have obeyed.. Cheers, Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest invergordon Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Chainy, wondering what prompts you to say that about the NZ authorities, Ozzy ones don't seem to mind do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh nothing negative, it's just a different country with different rules (a good country too). I am so grateful that Australia allows us to monitor planes. Mind you, it would be great to see traffic out of AKL for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest invergordon Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I feel that the NZ authorities are well in line with the australians so I don't see a problem with it either, i just need the hardware to do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darren Masters Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 That was my argument but there was absolutely no point in arguing. They did not care what feed I had in Aust etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
