How do you know where and when I have been flying?

We utilize various technologies to accurately track the whereabouts of aircraft.

The primary method we use is Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) and Multilateration (MLAT).

ADSB:

ADS-B relies on aircraft transponders broadcasting their precise GPS-derived position, altitude, velocity, and other data. These signals are transmitted at regular intervals and can be received by ground stations or other aircraft equipped with ADS-B receivers. This technology provides real-time tracking with high accuracy and is widely adopted in modern aircraft.

MLAT:

Multilateration (MLAT) is another method used to track aircraft. MLAT involves receiving signals from the transponder of an aircraft by multiple ground stations. By triangulating the time difference of arrival of the signals from different ground stations, the position of the aircraft can be determined. MLAT is particularly useful in areas where ADS-B coverage may be limited.

In summary, we use a combination of ADS-B and MLAT technologies to track aircraft movements accurately. These methods ensure that we have comprehensive coverage to provide you with detailed information about your flights.
