Flight Tracker
See the planes flying near any spot on a map — live, free, and with no sign-up. Every aircraft on the map is real, straight from its own radio beacon. Any business that watches things move in real time can use the same kind of live view.
Free tool — always freeOps teams flying blind on where their aircraft, freight, or fleet actually are lose hours to guesswork every week.

How we compute this
Almost every aircraft broadcasts a signal called ADS-B — a small radio message with its position, altitude, speed, and heading, sent a few times a second. Volunteers around the world run receivers that pick up these signals and pool them for free. This page asks those networks for the aircraft near your chosen spot every 10 seconds and draws them on the map. We relay real broadcasts; we never simulate a plane. When the sky is quiet, we say so instead of inventing one.

How it works
- Pick a spot — LAX, JFK, or your own location.
- We ask three free community flight-tracking networks for the aircraft near that spot.
- The map redraws every 10 seconds with what is really flying there right now — no app, no login, no cost to you.
Common questions
- What do the colors mean?
- Each color is how high the plane is flying: bright yellow under 10,000 feet, gold from 10,000 to 30,000 feet, and tan above 30,000 feet. Gray means the plane is on the ground or not sharing its altitude. An arrow points the way a plane is headed.
- Is this live?
- Yes, when the banner says so. If the feed goes quiet, we tell you — we never fill the map with made-up planes.
- Why should a business care?
- Any business that watches things move in real time — deliveries, fleets, job sites — can use the same kind of live map for its own data instead of guessing.
