Aircraft/Flight Number Ident

ere trying to longhand the process- We were tining that we’d need to pull aircraft operating close to a lat/long and then filter them by what’s available.

Could you provide a list of what fields would be available in an ADSBExchange? We’re hoping it would be an easy parameter to filter for, such as origin or destination. Otherwise, it sounds more complicated in that we need to make some assumptions based on the proximity of the aircraft to the airport, below a certain altitude, and in a vertical descent or climb to determine arrival or departure.

There are so many useful types of displays that could be done. Depends on what you’re looking to do. Currently, we do not have arrival/departure airports (just current lat/lon coordinates), but it’s looking like we will add arrival/departure airports shortly. My other interest is in aircraft flying around not on flight plans (medical helicopters, police helicopters, small GA planes, etc.) Pretty close to having something basic working here.

I am a bit puzzled on why Starlark was chosen as the development language here. There is not a lot of “googleable” material out there on Starlark and it doesn’t seem that well suited for this niche…
