What you can and can’t see

Everything on this page comes from transponder broadcasts picked up by volunteer receivers. Military aircraft frequently operate with the transponder off, and some broadcast anonymised identifiers, so an empty page is never proof that nothing is flying. What is here is real; what is missing may simply be silent.

Live positions come from volunteer-run ADS-B receivers, shared as open data under the ODbL licence. An aircraft is visible here only if its transponder is broadcasting and a receiver hears it, so coverage is dense over North America and Europe and thin over oceans, deserts and mountains. Not for navigation or operational use. More about our data.
