I have been planespotting for over 20 years; during this time technology has evolved greatly to make the planespotter's life much easier, a big contribution coming from that of the flight tracking app.
In the video, I visit AirNav Systems, a leading flight tracking company to explore how flight tracking works. Andre Brandao, CEO of AirNav, explains the entire process, from the airplane sending signals all the way to receiving from Radarbox to the server and then finally displaying data in the app.
To my surprise, there are currently over 24,000 devices all over the world, including some in the most remote places imaginable, all sharing data to make flight tracking possible. You can also become one of these flight data feeders!
Andre also shared with me the current state of aviation recovery with the latest flight data; the number of flights in the sky per day and a region by region comparison. Some of the unique features of Radarbox, such as airport heat map, airplane utilization, Air Traffic Control and Skyvector map, are introduced in the video.
