Or with a external keypad.

The green Mark button on the Spiders keypad is how the Mark notifications are activated.

Pressing the Mark button twice will send a Mark 2 position report

Pressing the Mark button three times will send a Mark 3 position report

Pressing the Mark button once four times sends a Mark 4 position report

These will appear on the website and be sent to any of the elected members.

Note:

• If a custom notification message is set on the website, such as 'Taking Off' this message will be displayed in the Flight Track Information description and the position report box.

• The notification will go to a member by email or SMS, as soon as the position report is received by the website.
