The app works by utilizing ADS-B transponders, which most modern aircraft are equipped with. These transponders transmit positional data, which Flightradar24's network of over 40,000 ground stations around the world receives. This data is then displayed as aircraft moving on the map in the app. In areas where ADS-B is not available, multilateration is used to calculate aircraft positions. Real-time radar data supplements coverage in North America. Keep in mind that coverage may vary and is subject to change. 📡

Flightradar24 is designed for entertainment purposes only, and users should not rely on it for activities that could endanger themselves or others. The developer is not responsible for any incidents resulting from the use of the data or its interpretation. Enjoy the world's most popular flight tracker and discover why millions rely on Flightradar24 for their aviation tracking needs! 🎉
