Multilateration - Request for PlanePlotter Master User status - Step 1 of 10If sufficient messages are received by multiple users, PlanePlotter can determine the position of aircraft that are not transmitting position reports but are transmitting Mode-S messages. The process of determining the position of such an unknown aircraft is termed 'multilateration'. Only Master Users of PlanePlotter can initiate multilateration requests.
If you would like to be a Master User, read on.
The ability to initiate multilateration requests as a Master User is a premium service within PlanePlotter. If you are a user who has set up your system to provide raw data to the multilateration scheme and your system has been validated and you make it generally available for other users' benefit, then in return for your contributing raw data, you are automatically entitled to Master User status and there is no additional fee for using this feature. Note that providing raw data is not the same as the routine Internet sharing of aircraft data between users and very occasional or intermittent provision of raw data does not qualify. Only regular raw data providers have automatic Master User status.
The ability to initiate multilateration requests as a Master User is a premium service within PlanePlotter. If there are reasons why you cannot contribute raw data regularly, you can request temporary Master User status for an experimental period of 21 days using this page. If you request the 21 day trial, you are not committed to paying any fee unless you want to continue to use it after the end of 21 days. After 21 days, if you want to continue as a Master User, you can choose to pay a small fee of Euro €12.00 (plus VAT in EU countries). To request your free 21 day trial or extend your Master User status, please press the button below.
