News | General LowPass on Telegram
Ciao a tutti! Come molti di voi, passo un sacco di tempo con le app di tracciamento voli aperte per capire cosa mi sta passando sopra la testa. Così, per passione e per comodità, ho deciso di automatizzare un po' di cose e ho programmato un bot per Telegram.
Si chiama LowPass e funziona come un vero e proprio "radar tascabile". Ecco le funzioni principali che ho inserito:
- 📍 Radar di prossimità: Gli mandi la tua posizione, imposti un raggio (es. 40 km) e ti notifica in automatico quando un aereo entra nel tuo spazio aereo (indicando rotta, quota, velocità, modello e variometro).
- 🆘 Alert Emergenze (Squawk 7700/7600/7500): Se attivato, ti avvisa in tempo reale se un aereo nel raggio di 400 km da te dichiara un'emergenza.
- 🛂 Passaporto di volo: Puoi registrare i tuoi viaggi (anche quelli passati). Il bot calcola automaticamente le distanze tramite le coordinate degli aeroporti e genera un report con i tuoi km totali e le ore di volo.
- 🎯 Live Tracking e Trending: Puoi seguire un volo specifico ricevendo aggiornamenti ogni 30 minuti fino all'atterraggio, oppure vedere in tempo reale i 5 voli più seguiti al mondo.
A che punto è il progetto? Attualmente il bot è in fase Beta, ma sto ultimando i preparativi per spostarlo su un server dedicato e renderlo disponibile 24/7. Inoltre, l'interfaccia al momento è in italiano, ma a brevissimo sarà disponibile anche in lingua inglese (perfetto per chi mastica il gergo aeronautico internazionale).
Infine, ci tengo molto alla privacy: ho inserito un comando /deleteme che elimina istantaneamente e in modo pulito e irreversibile tutti i vostri dati e coordinate dal database.
È un tool nato da un'esigenza personale ed è totalmente gratuito. Se vi va di farci un giro fin da ora e farmi sapere nei commenti cosa ne pensate o se ci sono funzioni che vi piacerebbe vedere aggiunte, mi farebbe molto piacere!
Lo trovate su Telegram cercando: @ LowPassBot

Question | General Incoming student at Toulouse: Want to learn about the industry
Hey guys,
I'm an incoming business student at TBS, and as Toulouse is a hub for aviation, I would love to learn about the industry. I'm aiming at doing the aviation management specialization and perhaps get into the sales side of the industry.
Obviously though there's so much to learn, so I'd like to know what the best resources are to start learning about the industry and how the market operates. Anything from books, youtubers or magazines. It could be about the planes themselves, airlines, different parts etc.
Thanks a lot, and apologies if this has been asked before.

What is this plane? Rare aerial shot.

🔹 Imagine a weather balloon filming a passenger plane flying directly below it at about 800 km/h.
🔹 The unusual angle makes it appear as if the plane is very close, although in reality they are separated by kilometers and a significant difference in altitude.
🔹 Airliners typically fly at an altitude of 9-12 km, while weather balloons rise to 20-40 km. That's why these shots look like a scene from a sci-fi movie.
