How you can help

Fund a receiver

Each ADSB receiver costs around $500 for the parts and an hour of time to set up and configure. If you’d like to help fund a receiver, contact tim@gliding.co.nz. We can buy the parts and configure a receiver on your behalf, and match it up to a suitable host who can install it.

Set up your own receiver

Instructions what to buy and how to set up your own receiver can be found at https://puretrack.io/help/adsb

We can help get you set up, just contact us. tim@gliding.co.nz

Host a receiver

Do you have a suitable site that has access to power and internet? You’d need to host a Raspberry pi computer, and install an antenna on the roof. Ideally you’re in a location that does not have a nearby reciever already, and is elevated with good clear line of sight coverage around you. Also useful is to set up recievers near eixsting airports or airfields, where aircraft are often low.

FAQ

Why not use FlightRadar 24?
FlightRadar24 has good coverage around NZ, but does not allow use of their data without hefty commercial prices. We also need to get our own data so we can merge it with other data sources our pilots use e.g. SPOT, InReach, FLARM and cellular apps. This is critical to ensure all our pilots are tracked as best possible.
