live provides a live flight tracking service that aggregates unfiltered ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) and MLAT (Multilateration) data from a network of enthusiast-operated receivers. The platform is positioned as a resource for aviation enthusiasts, researchers, journalists, and individuals interested in monitoring real-time air traffic, offering access to flight information that is not filtered or obfuscated.
The service enables users to follow global air traffic and observe aircraft, including military planes that are often excluded from other flight tracking sites. A live map displays real-time positions of aircraft, and users can track any plane in the system. live emphasizes its commitment to transparency by ensuring that both ADS-B and MLAT data remain unfiltered and unobfuscated. Additionally, MLAT data is transmitted back to each feeder who contributes data to the platform, supporting a reciprocal data-sharing approach within the community.
live is described as a community-driven aggregator, relying on data contributed by aviation enthusiasts who operate receivers. The platform is accessible for free and is intended to serve a broad audience, from plane spotters to those simply curious about the skies.
live distinguishes itself by providing open access to unfiltered aircraft data and fostering a community-based approach to real-time flight monitoring.
