Height information is derived from changes in air pressure recorded by aircraft in flight. This means that aircraft may not have flown exactly on the track shown on WebTrak. For aircraft that make tight turns (for example, aerobatic aircraft or helicopters), the lateral accuracy is 450 metres at 40 kilometres from the radar site. For scheduled flights which perform smooth turns, the lateral accuracy is better than 250 metres at 40 kilometres from the radar site. WebTrak вЂsmoothsвЂ™ readings from individual radar points to show a consistent track. Airservices performance criteria for radar include thresholds for margins of error (tolerances). Radar can be inaccurate by small distances, depending on the aircraft's distance from the radar and the type of aircraft movement. Therefore, displays of movements at and around these airports should not be relied upon.ДЇor movements to and from major airports, the lateral accuracy (where an aircraft is over the ground) of WebTrak is dependent on the radar information the system uses. WebTrak data for secondary airports such as Jandakot, Parafield, Moorabbin, Bankstown and Archerfield is not 'groomed' and is therefore subject to many more inaccuracies. This means that data in replay mode (the day after) will be more accurate than in current flight mode. Data validation and accuracyДata for major airports captured by WebTrak undergoes a daily checking process by Envirosuite. Where aircraft movements are made without transponders these also do not appear on WebTrak. Some police movements are not shown on WebTrak due to the nature of these operations.

WebTrak is provided by Envirosuite, formerly EMS BrГјel & KjГ¦r Learn more in our Guide to accessing historical trend information from WebTrak after double-clicking an aircraft on the flight search and display screen, select the blue information icon in the flight information box - this will display the aircraft's track as well as the historical information.go to the Quick Start Guide in the top left-hand corner of the WebTrak screen, and click the вЂњHistoricalвЂќ link.There are two ways to access the historical trend information: It will also allow you to find out whether the aircraft operation is typical or not, which suburbs are overflown more frequently than others and the seasonal variations for flight paths. This information will help you gain a better understanding of aircraft operations and noise in your area. You can also look at data from noise monitors over these periods. You can see how often a particular flight path is used on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis, by time of day or weekday/weekend. Common flight paths are shown as вЂswathesвЂ™. WebTrak provides an overview of where aircraft typically fly, providing an understanding of operations and patterns over time. Note: not currently available for Sunshine Coast. Some aircraft are routinely excluded from WebTrak. Therefore, displays of movements at and around these airports should not be relied upon. Unlike WebTrak data for major airports, the data for secondary airports such as Jandakot, Parafield, Moorabbin, Bankstown and Archerfield is not 'groomed' and is therefore subject to many more inaccuracies. Additional information can be found under Technical information below. More information about technical issues including data accuracy is available in the Terms of Use and Notices that you accept when you enter the site and in the About tab of the Help menu. Therefore it is more accurate the following day. Before data is checked there are more likely to be gaps or inaccuracies in the display. WebTrak data for the major airports is checked overnight.
