General aviation Pilots use an app called foreflight that has a ton of flight data. You can use it on a commercial flight. It is very interesting but expensive if you’re just using it as a commercial airline passenger!
WingX Pro VFR is $0.99 per year and probably gives you enough to be entertained at a much better price point. (They have higher level subs if you’re actually flying.)
Check out flightradar24 for a more passenger oriented app that provides similar data (based off ads-b rather than using device sensors)
Bonus points: put up an RTL-SDR and feed them ADS-B data you receive. They will give you a free business account! ($50/mo value!!)
Client fully compatible with a Raspberry Pi, so minimal energy consumption too.
Flightradar24 does that? I thought that was FlightAware, but still awesome to know!
Yup have been doing it for about 3 years now. I love how much value I get in return of little I provide (relatively).
Yes, and it’s a fun way to pass the time, but GPS and ADS-B receivers won’t give you td_id_weight_on_wheels or td_id_fltdata_wind_direction.
