FLIGHT DATA TRAFFIC
Real-time global aviation monitoring using aggregated ADS-B telemetry and community-fed networks.
DATA SOURCES
The GEOINT.WORLD Flight Data module aggregates live telemetry from multiple open-source networks to provide a comprehensive picture of the sky.
OPENSKY NETWORK
Primary source for civilian and commercial traffic via community receivers.
ADSB.LOL
Uncensored feed for military, LADD, and PIA aircraft monitoring.
FILTERS & CLASSIFICATIONS
Use the Flight Control Panel to filter visible aircraft by category.
- VERIFIED TRAFFIC — Routine commercial flights (Airliners, Cargo, GA).
- MILITARY — Air Force, Navy, and State-operated aircraft.
- AIRCRAFTS WITH PRIVATE PIA ADDRESSES — Jets using rolling identifiers for anonymity.
- AIRCRAFTS LIMITING DATA DISPLAYED — Owners blocking public tracking (LADD).
- NO CALLSIGN — Transmitting position but NO Identity.
- NO SQUAWK CODE — Aircraft not broadcasting a squawk code.
- ALERT — Emergency squawk codes or SPI.
Use the icon next to the FLIGHT DATA layer in the application to access the real-time legend and advanced descriptions.
EMERGENCY SQUAWK CODES
The system automatically flags aircraft broadcasting international emergency codes as ALERT.
| CODE | MEANING |
|---|---|
7700 |
GENERAL EMERGENCY. Mechanical failure, medical issue, or distress. |
7600 |
RADIO FAILURE. Loss of communication with ATC. |
7500 |
HIJACKING. Unlawful interference. |
SPI |
SPECIAL POSITION IDENT. Pilot pressed 'IDENT' button—also triggers ALERT status on the map. |
ADVANCED FILTERS
The Flight Filter panel provides additional controls for precise aircraft filtering.
SQUAWK FILTER
Use the search field to filter flights by specific squawk codes. Enter a squawk code (e.g.,
7700, 1200) to display only aircraft broadcasting that code.
MIN ALTITUDE
Use the slider to set a minimum altitude threshold. Aircraft below this altitude will be hidden from the map. Default is 0 meters. Adjust the slider to focus on high-altitude flights or filter out ground traffic.
REFRESH
Control the automatic data refresh interval. Available options:
- 1m — Refresh every 1 minute (default)
Use the HIDE button to minimize the filter panel and maximize map visibility.
