ADS-B Exchange tracking on ground status

[shajoe44]

I have 3 airports within 15 miles of my location. One of them is showing the on ground status (dark gray) of airplanes. This one is located in Aiken, SC. The other two, located in August, Ga have never shown any on ground status of planes. Is this a setting I can control or is it airport related? Thanks

It's airport related and/or aircraft related, depending when the planes have there tracking transceivers turned on.

Thanks for the info. Just weird how they show up at Aiken location and none others. It's the busiest week of the year since the Master's Golf Tournament is rapping up today.

The main issue is how close the recever/feeder is to an airport. There may only be one in your area and they are closer to the airport that is showing aircraft on the ground.

That makes sense. Thanks
