PT20J Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Ever wonder where those things are? Here’s the current list from the FAA. Apparently it was provided in response to a FOIA request (maybe that explains the apparently random sorting and the fact that the .xlsx file was converted to .pdf before posting). https://www.faa.gov/foia/electronic_reading_room/media/ADS-B_Ground_Stations_as_of_08-31-2018.pdf Stratux went to the trouble to plot the locations on a map (unfortunately, they didn’t include the altitude tier). http://towers.stratux.me Skip 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Four years old at this point if the .pdf file name is to be believed. Makes me wonder if we don't need to FOIA another one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder if we don't need to FOIA another one! I don’t think so. I don’t believe anything has changed lately or is likely to and there is a link to this list in the current SBS description document. Every GBT (ground based transceiver) broadcasts its lat/long and ID as part of the FIS-B uplink and UATs are supposed to provide a means to display this information for all stations being received, so it’s never been that big a secret. But, I think in the past, someone may have just been nervous about putting all the information in one place. Skip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Is the list sorted at all? A quick review of the NJ stations… I quickly found I was reviewing all 15 pages…. two of the airports I didn’t recognize their names or their abbreviations… The secret society isn’t giving up their info very easily… Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeFlight can display on the map the locations of the current towers it is receiving in flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
