Put it to work
A track that stays in focus.
Follow an aircraft and see its reported trail. Dashed segments distinguish estimated routes or signal gaps from observed positions, and tracked aircraft remain visible when the general layer is off.
- 01
Select an aircraft
Inspect available callsign, registration, aircraft type, altitude, speed and the last position update.
- 02
Follow its progress
Track it on the map and see what you’re actively following. Open a camera alongside the tracking panel.
- 03
Save the context
Add the aircraft to a case or a watchlist so you can return to it later. Routes appear when a source can resolve them.
A few useful details
Know what to expect.
Why is a tracked aircraft standing still?
It may be showing the last reported position after a signal gap. Last-seen messages distinguish that from a fresh update. It does not mean the aircraft has stopped in the air.
Can I see departure and destination?
When route information is available. Some broadcasts have no flight number, and some flights cannot be matched to a route.
Does it keep tracking when I close the browser?
Map tracking follows a flight while you use the map. Watchlists are the separate way to save identifiers and receive supported background sighting notifications.
