A flight information display system (FIDS) is a computer system used in airports to display flight information to passengers, in which a computer system controls mechanical or electronic display boards or monitors in order to display arriving and departing flight information in real-time.
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.
FlightAware is an American multi-national technology company that provides real-time, historical, and predictive flight tracking data and products. As of 2019, [update] it is the world's largest flight tracking platform, with a network of over 32,000 ADS-B ground stations in 200 countries. [ 2 ]
Flightradar24 ADS-B receiver based on jetvision Radarcape [24]. Flightradar24 aggregates data from six sources: [25] Automatic dependent surveillance – broadcast (ADS-B). The principal source is a large number of ground-based ADS-B receivers, which collect data from any aircraft in their local area that are equipped with an ADS-B transponder and feed this data to the internet in real time.
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.
PFD with key instrument displays labelled PFD of a Garmin G1000. The details of the display layout on a primary flight display can vary enormously, depending on the aircraft, the aircraft's manufacturer, the specific model of PFD, certain settings chosen by the pilot, and various internal options that are selected by the aircraft's owner (i.e., an airline, in the case of a large airliner).

Unlike this color depiction of SVS on a head down primary flight display, the SVS displayed on a HUD is monochrome – that is, typically, in shades of green. The image indicates a wings level aircraft (i.e. the flight path vector symbol is flat relative to the horizon line and there is zero roll on the turn/bank indicator.)
