COAA PlanePlotter

Free Download COAA PlanePlotter full version standalone offline installer for Windows. It receives, and decodes live digital position reports from aircraft and plot them on a chart.

Overview of COAA PlanePlotter

Using this program, you can see a radar-like display of all those aircraft around you transmitting the appropriate digital messages, including ACARS, ADS-B, & HFDL. If you receive Mode-S ADS-B position reports, it can interface with Google Earth to display aircraft positions over the Google Earth base map.

It can even give you a dynamic real-time view of the aircraft when you designate the flight deck. It can also determine and display the direction of any transmission using a simple passive antenna switch. It allows aircraft to be located even if it is not equipped with ACARS or Mode-S/ADS-B.

Chart display

It plots aircraft positions, altitudes, and times, decoded from the message traffic it receives. These include embedded position reports, AMDAR and ADS reports contained in ACARS messages, ADS-B position reports received by the Kinetic SBS1 or AirNav System RadarBox Mode-S receivers, and position reports on HF using Charles Brain's PC-HFDL software.

The plot can be superimposed on a suitable aeronautical chart you have prepared, or it can download satellite imagery and plot the aircraft symbols. Where altitude information is available (e.g., Mode-S messages), you can select the data by altitude band to distinguish between low-level and high-level traffic.
