Anyone know when they started including this. I just noticed today. I don't recall noticing it during the weekend.

We can guess it happened late summer sometime.

Few yahoogroups posted about it.

Cool. Canada gets the binary equivalent for each registration ("mark"). Too bad more aircraft aren't actually using Mode S - just seems like airliners only around my neck of the woods.

I've seen about 3000 discrete ModeS codes that start with C0. Don't give up
