A Python Mode-S Decoder
=======================
Python library for Mode-S message decoding. Two seprate methods are
develop to decode the following messages:
Python library for Mode-S message decoding. Two separate methods are
implemented to decode the following messages:
- Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) (DF17)
- aircraft infomation that cotains: icao address, position,
altitude, velocity (ground speed), and callsign, etc.
- aircraft information that contains: ICAO address, position,
altitude, velocity (ground speed), callsign, etc.
- Mode-S Enhanced Surveillance (EHS) (DF20 and DF21)
- additional information in response to SSR interogation, such as:
- additional information in response to SSR interrogation, such as:
true airspeed, indicated airspeed, mach number, track angle,
heading, and roll angle, etc.
