Hi everyone,
I’ve been developing a lightweight custom web console for monitoring VDL2 (136.975 MHz) here at SHIRAKAMI Station in northern Japan, and wanted to share a couple of screenshots of how it works.
Live Monitoring Mode (1st Image): Streams the latest decoded VDL2 packets and ACARS messages in real time.
Archive Search Mode (2nd Image): When entering a keyword, flight ID, or registration (e.g., searching for “NH” for ANA flights) into the search bar, the backend instantly queries the system journal (journalctl) to filter and extract data from the historical log archive.
It combines a clean real-time feed with a handy “flight black-box” search feature for reviewing past records. Thought some of you might find the setup interesting!
