Airplanes.live displays aircraft reported by a community network of ADS-B receivers. The live map includes airline flights, general aviation, helicopters, and some military or privacy-flagged traffic that other trackers may omit when it is present in the feed. Tapping an aircraft can show its callsign, route, altitude, speed, registration, and available photos. Optional Pro tools add weather radar, an ATC-style scope, advanced filters, a larger watchlist, and alerts; the developer says feeder contributors receive Pro at no charge. The free map does not require an account. Coverage depends on receiver locations and publicly broadcast signals, and some aircraft may be withheld from public feeds. The service is for informational and educational use only, not navigation, separation, or safety-of-life decisions.
