Description

The aircraft types legend has several issues that make it confusing and potentially inaccurate.

Current Issues

  • Multiple 'commercial' entries for different weight classes
  • All commercial aircraft show the same icon regardless of size
  • Legend doesn't clearly distinguish between light/medium/large aircraft
  • May not accurately reflect ADS-B emitter categories

Expected Improvements

Icon Differentiation

  • Use different icons or visual styles for different aircraft sizes
  • Ensure light/medium/large aircraft are visually distinct
  • Consider different icons for different aircraft types

Legend Clarity

  • Remove duplicate entries
  • Use clear, unambiguous labels
  • Group related categories logically
  • Show actual icons used on the map

Accuracy Check

  • Verify legend matches actual ADS-B emitter category classification
  • Ensure aircraft are correctly categorized based on received data
  • Update legend to reflect real ADS-B categories vs imaginary ones

Related Work

This was partially addressed when replacing imaginary categories with real ADS-B classes, but the legend still needs refinement.

Files to Modify

  • assets/static/index.html - Legend HTML structure
  • assets/static/css/style.css - Legend and icon styling
  • JavaScript aircraft classification logic
  • Icon files in assets/static/icons/ directory

Labels

enhancement, frontend, ux
