WHAT PLANE IS FLYING OVER ZHUBEI?
Wondering what plane is that, overhead right now? Every aircraft over Zhubei broadcasting ADS-B appears on the scope above at its true position — airliners, freighters, helicopters, trainers, and the occasional mystery pigeon with no flight plan on file.
Zhubei sits practically under the circuit at Hsinchu Air Base — expect aircraft low, close and slowing down, with the interesting part of the flight happening right overhead.
Most traffic over Zhubei is working the nearby airports: Hsinchu Air Base (RCPO), 4 NM away; Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (RCTP), 19 NM away; Taipei Songshan International Airport (RCSS), 33 NM away. Arrivals and departures from these fields cross the area daily, along with overflights riding the airways above.
The scope names what deserves naming: military movements, air ambulances, coastguard and rescue aircraft, warbirds, AWACS and tankers, and the occasional whale-shaped oddball all wear their own badges. Search any town or postcode on the main scope to centre the radar on your own location, or pop it out full-screen for a second monitor.
