A display to view flights and drones in an airspace in real-time.
Flight Spotlight
Flight Spotlight is a powerful tool that lets you track flights in real-time by subscribing to updates for a specific geographic area. It visualizes live manned and unmanned air traffic on a 3D globe and supports features like geo-fencing. Whether you’re working with UTM / U-Space systems or monitoring drone traffic, Flight Spotlight has you covered. It supports Network Remote-ID, broadcast Remote-ID data, and integrates with live ADS-B or other air-traffic data feeds.
For unmanned aviation, Flight Spotlight currently supports ASTM Network and Broadcast Remote-ID standards, with the flexibility to adopt new standards as they emerge.
Flight Spotlight works seamlessly with Flight Blender, a complementary server application that processes and streams flight data from various sources like ADS-B, Radar, and FLARM. Flight Blender also provides Network Remote-ID capabilities as a specialized module.
✨ Features
Flight Spotlight is designed to be compatible with all current and upcoming ASTM and EuroCAE standards for UTM / U-Space. Key features include:
- Geofencing Display: Fully compatible with EuroCAE ED-269.
- Network Remote ID: Display drone traffic via connections to DSS using Flight Blender.
- Manned and Unmanned Traffic: Visualize ADS-B and other traffic using a streamlined JSON format with a Flight Blender backend.
- Flight Declarations: Upload JSON-based flight declarations or mission plans from ground control stations.
