See the aircraft the free trackers lose.
Most tracking sites go dark the moment a flight leaves radar cover over the Atlantic. We don’t. SkyScanWorld runs its own Alphasat and Inmarsat satellite feeds, so you can follow an aircraft from the US to the UK without it vanishing halfway.
Tracking that doesn’t stop at the coast
ADS-B is line-of-sight. Once an aircraft is a few hundred miles out over the ocean, ground receivers can’t hear it, and that’s where most tracking sites lose the plot.
Our ADS-C satellite feeds pick it up. Alphasat and Inmarsat carry position reports from the aircraft itself, so oceanic and remote flights stay on the map for the whole crossing. The same feeds keep an aircraft visible if its ADS-B transponder isn’t transmitting, because the satellite link is what it falls back on.
It’s the part of SkyScanWorld you won’t get from a free tracker.
