Live Tracking & Flying Nearby

If there are people flying near you (about 100km radius), and they are sharing their live location, then you can follow their flight from here. You will see basic details like altitude, height above ground, speed, aircraft type, and battery level for each pilot. We also display a map of the area with the pilots’ locations. You can tap on the map or on a pilots to open up the live tracking viewer.

Activity Feed

Community Activity Feed

The activity feed shows you flight recordings from pilots in your area, your groups, and your friends. The feed is not in chronological order but rather tries to choose flights that might be of interest to you. It follows the following basic rules, in order of priority:

  1. If a pilot is your friend then their flights will be towards the top of the feed.
  2. If a pilot belongs to one of your groups then their flights will be towards the top of the feed.
  3. If a pilot is flying in your area then their flights will be towards the top of the feed.
  4. Newer flights will be towards the top of the feed.
  5. The closer a flights is to your location the higher it will be in the feed.
  6. Flights with a longer distance will be towards the top of the feed.

You can use the filter toggles to choose which items you want in the feed. The toggles allow you to change if flights are shown from:

  1. The public feed
  2. Your groups
  3. Nearby pilots

You can tap on any flight in the activity feed to open up the flight recording viewer.
