Flight Position Response Element
Flight Position elements are returned in responses for the following request type:
Table of Contents
| Element | Cardinality | Description |
|---|---|---|
| <flightPosition> | 0..n | Holder element for identification and reported positions for a single airframe. |
| <flightId>264915620</flightId> | 0..1 | The unique identifier for the flight (String). If available, this can be used to retrieve detailed status or complete position tracks of the flight. |
| <callsign>QXE543</callsign> | 0..1 | The callsign of the flight (String). |
| <tailNumber>917F</tailNumber> | 0..1 | The tail number of the equipment for the flight (String). |
| <heading>133.39037483310972</heading> | 0..1 | The current heading of the plane in decimal degrees from magnetic north (Double). This is only available if there is more than one position in the track. |
| <source>ASDI</source> | 1..1 | The source of the reported positions. |
| <positions> | 1..1 | The recent track of positions reported for the flight. |
| <position> | 1..n | A recent position reported for the flight. |
| <lon>-122.27999877929688</lon> | 1..1 | The reported longitude of the position in decimal degrees (Double). |
| <lat>47.66999816894531</lat> | 1..1 | The reported latitude of the position in decimal degrees (Double). |
| <speedMph>237</speedMph> | 0..1 | The reported speed of the aircraft at the time of the reading in whole miles per hour (Integer). |
| <altitudeFt>4000</altitudeFt> | 0..1 | The reported altitude of the aircraft in whole feet above ground (Integer). |
| <date>2012-06-05T22:10:00.000Z</date> | 1..1 | The UTC date and time in ISO-8601 format (yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ). |
| <course>15</course> | 0..1 | NEW The direction of travel in degrees relative to geographic north, clockwise (Integer). The range for this data field is -179 to 180. |
| <vrateMps>6</vrateMps> | 0..1 | NEW The velocity of ascent or descent (if negative) in meters per second (Integer). |
| <phase>cruising</phase> | 0..1 | NEW
Description used to indicate the most likely activity of the plane at a given time. Phases include: taxiing, takeoff, landed, landing, climbing, descending, level, cruising, approach, ground, departure.
Not all positions will include a phase. |
| <stationID>KDEN</stationID> | 0..1 | NEW
The station identifier used by the FAA for ASDI data. Examples: KZLA, KZAB, KZDV.
The ASDI stream consists of a collection of observations from different regional and national tracking systems. Each of these has a separate stationId. A single aircraft may be observed by multiple stations at once, each of which may report a slightly different position due to the inherent inaccuracy of radar. Because of this, trackers showing ASDI streams should either show all signals separately, maintain an affinity between a callsign and single stationId as long as possible, or integrate the different signals. |
