Tracking that doesn’t drop the signal.
Real-time positions, from a global receiver network.
Flight Tracker aggregates ADS-B Out broadcasts from a global network of ground receivers, then renders them on a live map with sub-second updates. Watch any aircraft in the database with altitude, ground speed, heading, vertical speed, and aircraft type at a glance — and tap for the full flight detail.
- Live ADS-B aircraft positions, refreshed in real time
- Altitude, ground speed, heading, vertical speed
- Aircraft type, registration, and operator info
- Global aircraft database with detailed routes
- Search by tail number, callsign, or flight number
- Tap any aircraft for full flight detail
Satellite coverage when ground stations don’t reach.
When an aircraft flies out of terrestrial ADS-B coverage — over oceans, polar routes, or remote terrain — Flight Tracker switches automatically to satellite-based position reporting from Aireon. You keep watching the flight uninterrupted, the map just keeps moving, and the source switches in the background.
- Automatic switch from ground ADS-B to satellite
- Aireon space-based ADS-B for oceanic and polar coverage
- Source indicator so you know where the data is coming from
- Continuous flight tracking with no visible gap
- Coverage anywhere an aircraft is broadcasting ADS-B Out
- Works on transoceanic, transpolar, and remote routes
