I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on the differences between using SWIM vs a commercial product like FlightAware. From my cursory glance at SWIM, it seems like it's probably better for getting flight plans and weather info, but FlightAware may be more useful for getting in-flight status. Does that seem consistent with your experience?
- sokoloff 10y agoNot a SWIM developer, but it looks like SWIM is the way to get a data feed to allow you build a flightaware workalike.
- wrigby 10y agoMakes sense. I know FlightAware operates their own network of ADS-B receivers, which augments the FAA data. I should look into whether or not that changes things, but I imagine the SWIM data feed doesn't have many holes.
