GPS aircraft tracking is a means of tracking the position of an aircraft fitted with a satellite navigation device.By communication with navigation satellites, detailed real-time data on flight variables can be passed to a server on the ground.
Flight tracking enables travellers as well as those picking up travellers after a flight to know whether a flight has landed or is on schedule, for example to determine whether it is time to go to the airport. Aircraft carry ADS-B transponders, which transmit information such as the aircraft ID, GPS position, and altitude as radio signals.
