There is a aircraft in florida using my N number. Is there any resolution for this, how would any aircraft owner prevent or remove the other aircraft? This is super annoying, my son and I bot fly the aircraft and of course like to keep track.
Possibly, the other aircraft has the wrong Mode-S HEX code programmed into its transponder. This other aircraft goes airborne, various ADS-B sites receive a signal with the Mode-S HEX code associated with your aircraft’s N-number registration, and show this as a flight which they assume has been flown by your plane.
Care to share your N-number so that we can see what you’re concerned about?
My aircraft is N180HU.
According to the FAA Registry, it indicates that your aircraft is registered in Texas.
I assume that the flights for this phantom aircraft that have you concerned are the ones that occurred in Florida twice on 21-Jan and once on 03-Feb? Are there any others besides those 3 recent flights on flightaware that I missed?
It looks like both your aircraft and the phantom plane are using UAT/978MHz transponders. I don’t have a 978MHz SDR receiver, so that’s going to make the detective work to identify this phantom a little bit more difficult.
I asked the flight-tracking team to take a look, looks like we’re incorrectly merging data from unrelated aircraft in this case (for reasons I don’t entirely understand at the moment, but possibly related to use of the VFR callsign)
