[![Codacy Badge](https://api.codacy.com/project/badge/Grade/c4e1d839eec3468cadfe351d64dc1ac4)](https://app.codacy.com/manual/Jxck-S/plane-notify?utm_source=github.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=Jxck-S/plane-notify&utm_campaign=Badge_Grade_Settings)
Nearing final first version. Notify If a Selected Plane has taken off or landed using Python with OpenSky API, outputs location of takeoff location of landing and takeoff by revese lookup of cordinates.
## Why I made it
Made it so I could track Elon Musk's Jet and share with others of his whereabouts follow on twitter @ElonJet <https://twitter.com/ElonJet>
## How It works
- Takes data about every 15 seconds from OpenSky Network or ADS-B Exchange and compares it to previous data with whats I've defined as a landing or takeoff event.
- A takeoff event event is the plane is not on ground, below 10k feet and ((previously no data and now getting data) or was previously on ground).
- A landing event is previosly below 10k feet and (previously getting data, no longer getting data and previously not on ground) or (now on ground and previously not on ground).
- Given the coordinates of the aircraft the coordinates are reverse looked up for a location name. (Geopy Nomination Geolocater)
- At time of takeoff a takeoff time is set which is refrenced in landing event to calculate an approximate total flight time.
- Static map image is created based off location name. (Google Static Maps API)
- If the landing event and takeoff events are true creates the output to Twitter and Pushbullet, uses the location name, map image and takeoff time if landing. (Tweepy and Pushbullet )
## Required PIP packages
- OpenSky API <https://github.com/openskynetwork/opensky-api>

pip install colorama
pip install geopy
```
### Install Pushbullet and Tweepy optional output methods already implemented in code
```bash
pip install tweepy
pip install pushbullet.py
```
### Install Screen to run in background
```bash
apt install screen
```
### Make sure Python is installed
```bash
apt install python3
```
### Download / Clone
