What Tracking Icons Are Available?

Tracking icons on the Flying page are displayed in the following ways:

Normal Tracking

                         

A normal point will displayed as a teardrop, the point of the icon pointing the direction the aircraft is heading. We have a range of colours to choose from. 

Normal Tracking vs Watch Mode

 

Watch

Automated Watch, is the active tracking option, that will watch over you as you fly and generate an alert if there is a disconnection with the satellite network.

When using Automated Watch, the Spider will automatically turn on and start sending your position report every one to two minutes after take off. The Spider will send one initial Time Tracking Point point and then nothing further until it passes through the enabled transition speed.

• When it passes through the enabled Speed Transition point a Watch on icon will appear on the map.
• The Watch Track point is displayed in blue.
• At the end of the flight, when the pilot turns the Spider off a Watch on icon will appear on the map.

What is Watch

 

SOS Alert

When an SOS is generated,  by the pilot an SOS icon will appear on the map. The track points will be displayed in red until the Spider is power cycled.

How the SOS Emergency Management System Works

 

Speed Up & Slow Down

Speed-up and Slow-down notifications are the settings that can be used to inform your members that your aircraft has taken off or landed based on a threshold speed. 

When a Spider moves through the enabled transition, either by speeding up or slowing down a yellow icon will be displayed on Flying Page.

Speed Up & Slow Down Notifications

 

Rate of Climb (ROC) & Rate of Decent (ROD)

When the altitude events are enabled this setting will trigger a point which will be displayed on the flying page when the aircraft climbs or descends too quickly based on the amount specified.      

What are the different Spider reporting rates?

 

Notifications Mark Buttons

Notifications are canned messages that can be sent from the Spider. These can be customised to how your members receive these and set up unique messages per aircraft and event.
