registration
The registration marks of the aircraft including the dash separator where applicable. For example, N4252T, D-IEGO, OE-INA.
It is possible to concatenate multiple registration parameters in the query string. For example, ?registration=D-IEGO®istration=G-INTR®istration=N4252T.
The server replies with 200 unless an error was encountered.
The body of the reply is a JSON list where each object is made up of the following properties:
tailNumber: The aircraft registration in the same format as entered in the request parameters. For example, G-ZBJK.
transponderIcao24: The ICAO 24bit address of the transponder in hexadecimal format. For example 4074e3.
position: A Position object.
The Position object represent the current position and state of an aircraft.
baroAltitude: The barometric altitude as reported by the aircraft transponder and with reference to the pressure level of 1013.25hPa. This is measured in meters.
groundSpeed: The ground speed as calculated by a satellite positioning system. This is measured in meters/second.
course: The true course of the aircraft as calculated by a satellite positioning system. Be aware that this is accurate only when the aircraft is in motion.
verticalRate: The vertical rate of climb or descent of the aircraft as reported by its transponder. The unit of measure is meters/second. Negative values indicate a descent.
onGround: A boolean value that indicates if the aircraft is on the ground or in the air. This information is provided on a best effort basis, as not all type of sources support transmission of this data.
observed: An ISO datetime string that indicates when was this position recorded.
source: The type of source that reported this position. Possible values are ADSB, MLAT, ASDI, OCEA, SATE, HFDL, ASTERIX
coordinates: A object.
