Flight Tracking Technology: How ADS-B Works

Modern aircraft broadcast their position via ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) every second. FlightTrack receives this data from a global network of ground receivers and satellites, processes it through our servers, and displays live aircraft positions on the map — refreshed every 5 seconds. Unlike radar, ADS-B is GPS-based and far more accurate, with position accuracy typically within 5–10 metres.
