Flight map online. Airplane in the sky online (explanations)

Not all aircraft are visible on the map diagram, but only those that are equipped with special transponders (radio responders) and are located in flight zones in which there are corresponding receiving stations. For example, the territory of Europe (the EEC countries) is covered almost completely. From here comes comprehensive information about passenger flights and flights.

But, even in those regions where there is no great saturation of ground stations, the main air routes are predominantly covered. This can be seen in the numerous silhouettes of airplanes on different continents. At the same time, we recall that for the reasons stated above, flights of old modifications of ships, for example, Boeings (727, 737-200, 747-100, 747-200, 747SP) and Soviet Tu-134, Tu-154, Il- 62, Yak-42: (with the exception of some modifications - "M"). But new Russian airliners - Sukhoi SuperJet 100, Il-96, Tu-204 - are displayed without problems.

When you hover over the silhouette of an airplane, it changes color. When you click on it, the left column opens with information, for example, about the name of the airline (Airline), flight number (Flight nr), departure and arrival airports (From, To), type of aircraft (Aircraft), altitude (Altitude) and speed (Speed ) flight. At this time, a line (track) of the previous movement of the aircraft appears on the map, the color of which changes depending on the altitude of the aircraft. You can also turn on the three-dimensional display mode (3D) to view the view of the aircraft from all sides, see the territory of the Earth's surface from the aircraft's flight altitude, see the starry sky above the aircraft, and also see the view from the pilot's cockpit. To conveniently continue viewing the flight map, close the left column.

Note. Information about helicopter flights is not displayed. There is no information about the presence of military aircraft in the air, with the rarest exception allowed by the creators of this program from Flightradar.

Attention! Due to the lack of ground stations in some regions and problems with signal transmission, the display of the aircraft silhouette on the schematic map may temporarily disappear and may not reflect the real situation. The silhouette also disappears when the plane is several tens of meters from the ground (immediately during takeoff and landing). Flight data and aircraft performance may not be fully reflected.

FlightRadar | History and description

In 2007, the Swedish company Travel Network developed a system for tracking aircraft in the air in real time Flightradar24. The radar operates 24 hours a day. The data received by the system is displayed on a map and allows you to see aircraft online all over the world - an aircraft flight map.

When you select an aircraft on the map, the system displays a list of its data, including:

• type of aircraft and its photograph,
• tail number and airline affiliation,
• place of departure and landing,
• altitude and speed at the moment,
• geographical position in degrees,
• distance traveled from the departure airport and other data.

The system also supports aircraft search by flight number.

The database is updated every few seconds, and the positions of all aircraft on the map are updated. The collected data is stored in the system’s memory for 28 days, allowing you to track not only current flights, but also those that have already completed. This Flytradar24 has become very popular in our time. People use it for certain tasks - to track a flight, or they are simply interested in watching planes online on the radar.

How Flytradar works

Almost all recent generation aircraft use a method of receiving flight information from the aircraft using an ADS-B transponder. This allows you to track the movement of cargo and passenger aircraft in different parts of the globe. However, the system does not track aircraft that are not equipped with this transmitter.

Currently, no more than 60% of aircraft in the world (less than 30% in the USA, but more than 70% in Europe) are equipped with this device, but their number is constantly increasing.

What is the coverage area of ​​the Fly Radar system?
Aircraft Map - The Flytradar system uses more than 500 transceiver stations that communicate with the ADS-B transponder. They collect information from all aircraft in the air equipped with ADS-B transponders and transmit it to the system's central server, which, after processing the data, displays the position of these aircraft on a map in real time.

Of course, aircraft without ADS-B transponders, or those outside the coverage area of ​​the station network, are not displayed on the service map. More than 90% of Europe is covered by a network of stations; coverage is also present in North and South America, Australia, Japan and some other regions of the Earth.

Displayed aircraft types on Flyradar
All aircraft types displayed by the system (having an ADS-B transponder) are listed below:

There are also a huge number of exceptions. Some aircraft from various companies or popular private Cessna aircraft are visible on Flyradar, while some Boeing and Airbus aircraft that are not equipped with ADS-B transmitters are not visible on the service's map. The online aircraft map is one of the most interesting inventions that is being improved every day - stay tuned for changes.

Good day.

With the development of the Internet, many other areas that are closely related to the lives of millions of people are also developing. Let's say, about 20 years ago, to imagine that anyone could see on a website in real time what plane was flying and where it was flying - it was something bordering on fantasy! And now, this can be done on any computer connected to the Internet!

To do this, you just need to know a few addresses on the network that provide aircraft flight maps. You can view the flights of all aircraft, as well as of a specific one (for example, if you are waiting for the arrival of relatives and friends).

Actually, in this article I will provide the best maps on which you can track all civil aircraft flights. So, let's begin...

Addition! Some of the sites below may require updating Adobe Flash Player (if you have an older version). How to do this is described in this article:

Online radars: aircraft flight maps

Flightradar24

One of the most popular radars for tracking civil aviation. In real time, you will be able to see a map on which each aircraft will be marked with a corresponding icon (see screenshot above). The site appeared in 2006.

By clicking on any airplane icon, you can find out where it is flying from and to (for example, in the screenshot below, the airplane is flying from San Francisco to London), its flight schedule, trajectory, flight distance, and its landing time. In general, all the most relevant things that the majority require.

I note that for an additional fee, the service provides even more functionality. In general, I recommend it!

Planefinder.net

The functionality of the site is similar to the previous one. It also features a World Map, with each airliner marked with a yellow icon. By choosing one of them, you can find out its direction of movement, schedule, speed, distance traveled, etc.

In addition, the top menu allows you to search for an aircraft by its tail number (this is a 5-7 character designation by which you can find out who the aircraft belongs to: what country, carrier, etc.).

By the way, the site keeps interesting statistics: you can find out the most popular airliners (the screen below shows that the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 are the most popular aircraft today), the most popular flight destinations, etc. Very interesting!

flightaware.com

A very multifunctional site, and moreover, it fully supports the Russian language! This resource was created by American developers and is aimed primarily at American countries. By the way, I note that the capabilities of this service are used by more than 15 million passengers around the world, more than 12 thousand air operators (i.e. the resource deserves trust and respect)!

I would especially like to note the information content of this resource: by selecting the desired flight, you can get maximum information on it. For example, you will find out the plane number, airline, its schedule, current coordinates, speed, take-off time (approximate landing time), look at a photo of the airliner, find out its previous flights, etc.

Vessel information // This is only part of the data

AirNAV Radarbox24.com

The resource was created by professional people from aviation, the purpose of which is to quickly provide information on any airliner in transit. The service operates on the basis of ADS-B sensors (such sensors are installed on the vast majority of commercial vessels) and the FAA radar system (American development). Thanks to this, the service tracks the movement of airliners equally well, both over America and over Asia, Europe, etc.

The work with the site itself is similar to the previous ones: select a specific airliner on the map (or enter the tail number of the aircraft through the search bar) and see its current position online.

I note that in the service options you can change the map type (Terrain, Sky Vector, Hybrid, etc.), brightness, etc. I would also add that this service is not as informative as the previous one. Nevertheless, he is considered one of the leaders in this topic, so I recommend getting acquainted!

That's all. Good luck!

On this page you can view the movement of aircraft in real time.

ADS-B use by individuals

There are projects to monitor flying aircraft using ADS-B receivers installed by hobbyists in their homes and other places. Data from these receivers is sent via the Internet to a central server where it is collected from hundreds of volunteers and amateurs and drawn on a map. In this way it is possible to cover large areas in different countries of the world. One of the most famous such projects is Flightradar24
Benefits of ADS-B

With ADS-B, pilots see the same type of aircraft traffic information on screens in the cockpit as they see on controllers' screens. This greatly improves pilots' situational awareness, as they know their position relative to other aircraft, receive information about deteriorating weather and information about difficult terrain.

ADS-B provides greater collision detection margin with an effective range of over 100 miles. Aircraft pilots can see the location, course, speed and altitude of other aircraft. ADS-B gives pilots services such as graphical displays of weather conditions and text flight recommendations at a lower cost than previously, and without paid subscriptions for such services.
Types of ADS-B Equipment

ADS-B Receiver (ADS-B IN) - This class of device receives ADS-B data, but cannot transmit ADS-B data to other aircraft or ground stations. The receiver receives both information about ship traffic and weather information. The FAA has currently limited the implementation of ADS-B in that ground stations will transmit traffic data (including radar traffic data) only when they receive information from at least one ADS-B OUT device on an aircraft transmitted within service range. Thus, an aircraft equipped with an ADS-B receiver may not “see” traffic data if there are no aircraft with ADS-B OUT transmitters in the service area and did not transmit the signal. Weather information is always transmitted by ground stations and is always available for reception via an ADS-B receiver in the coverage area.

ADS-B transmitters (ADS-B OUT) - this class of devices can transmit ADS-B data. The transmitters can also “wake up” ADS-B ground stations and switch them to transmit traffic to aircraft in their coverage area. ADS-B devices capable of transmitting aircraft position and flight path must be certified by the FAA.

ADS-B transceivers are a class of devices capable of both transmitting and receiving ADS-B data. ADS-B transceivers can “wake up” FAA ADS-B ground stations and switch them to transmit traffic to aircraft in their coverage area. ADS-B devices capable of transmitting aircraft position and flight path must be certified by the FAA.
Principle of operation

ADS-B relies on GPS to determine the exact coordinates of an aircraft in space. This aircraft position information is combined with other information such as aircraft type, speed, aircraft number, flight, heading, vertical speed and then broadcast approximately every second.

Other ADS-B equipped aircraft and ground stations within a radius of approximately 150 miles receive this information. Ground stations combine information received from various locations with additional information received from ground radars for non-ADS-B devices and relay the data to all aircraft within the service radius.

Air traffic and weather information can be displayed in the cockpit if the aircraft is equipped with ADS-B.
FIS-B

Flight Information Services-Broadcast, or FIS-B, is a component of ADS-B technology that provides over-the-air distribution of free weather information, temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) and special traffic information.
TIS-B

Traffic Information Services-Broadcast, or TIS-B, is a component of ADS-B technology that provides free air traffic viewing service to aircraft equipped with ADS-B receivers.

TIS-B allows aircraft equipped with non-ADS-B transponders to transmit their position (derived by radar) to aircraft equipped with ADS-B.

ADS-B (Automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast) is a technology currently being implemented by the FAA in the United States and other countries, allowing pilots in the cockpit and dispatchers on the ground to “see” aircraft traffic with greater accuracy than it was available earlier and receive aeronautical information.

ADS-B also transmits real-time weather information to pilots. This information greatly enhances the pilot's situational awareness and improves flight safety. The best thing is that access to ADS-B information is free and open to everyone.

An aircraft equipped with an ADS-B transponder broadcasts its exact position throughout its journey, along with other data including speed, altitude, heading, takeoff or descent. ADS-B receivers, whether integrated into air traffic control systems or installed on board aircraft, provide users with accurate on-screen displays of aircraft movements both in the sky and on the ground.

Mode-A is the so-called Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR), used by both civil and military aircraft, provides up to 4096 identification codes (squawk) and is the most commonly used mode. Operates at a request frequency of 1030 MHz. In Mode-A/C mode, data on altitude, squawk and ICAO code of the aircraft are transmitted, coordinates are not transmitted.

Mode-S still uses the 1030 MHz interrogation rate, but instead of transmitting a pair of pulses, it modulates the signal carrier using DPSK for greater efficiency and without interfering with other Mode A/C interrogations.

Only in Mode-S mode are aircraft coordinates transmitted.

When the aircraft transponder receives a request, it confirms the request by emitting a pulse-position modulation (PPM) signal already at a frequency of 1090 MHz.

There is also an extended squitter, this is a packet of data with coordinates that is transmitted by an aircraft without an external request approximately every second. The aircraft seems to say every second “I’m here”, “I’m here”...
