Using this system Steve and the retrieve driver are able to see the location, speed and height of all pilots at all times during the flight.
In addition to the important safety aspect and the ease of retrieving pilots, this system enables the flying activities to be followed on this page each day. You can also see action in more detail 3D on the Livetrack24 website page or on pages designed for smart phones.
