Aircraft data

Demo is a fictional, locally simulated flight scenario. Routes, schedules, airport boards, and playback are illustrative. Times are local to each airport; the playback clock uses Pacific time.

Live traffic uses public ADSB.lol observations within 250 nautical miles of your chosen map center, refreshed every 15 seconds. When a Flightradar24 API account is configured on the server, its positions and available routes are used instead. Scheduled airport timetables are not supplied by either feed. When that service is unavailable, this private personal tracker uses ADSB.fi, whose API is for personal, noncommercial use. The active provider is shown with the live count. Missing values stay unknown. Coverage varies.

Playback and trails

Live session replay shows observations collected while this page is open, for up to 30 minutes. Trails also begin when this page opens. Demo playback is a simulated scenario. History loads free aircraft-day traces and area snapshots from the ADSB.lol archive. Coverage and retention vary; missing observations stay missing. You can also save and export your own recordings. Selected tracks export as CSV, GeoJSON or KML; KML ground traces preserve reported altitude as metadata.

Airport infrastructure and aviation weather

Airport details include reported runway endpoints and nearby navigation aids from OurAirports. Unknown coordinates remain unknown. Layers include NOAA G-AIRMET forecasts for the contiguous United States and recent pilot reports in the current map area, with source times and altitude filters.

Historical playback

Aircraft day history · free

Replay actual recorded positions from ADSB.lol. Enter a six-character ICAO aircraft address, or select a live flight first.

Area history · free

Replay recorded aircraft within 250 nautical miles of the map center. ADSB.lol archives provide ten-second snapshots where available. Heading, routes and aircraft types may be absent.

Your recordings · free

Export the active live session or loaded archive observations, then import the file to replay them on another device.

BEYOND THIS MAP AREA

Find an aircraft

Search current ADSB.lol or ADSB.fi observations. Coverage depends on volunteer receivers; a missing result does not mean a flight has ended.

Advanced filters

Match received values. Unknown fields match only “Not reported”. Closing discards unapplied changes.

Directional route

From and To use current routes supplied by the position provider. Unconfirmed reference routes do not match. Demo mode uses its simulated routes.

Telemetry and age

Numeric conditions use the units shown above. Each range and the From/To pair stay together when matching any condition. Replay age is measured at the selected playback time.
