The process should take two to three minutes. FlightAware will also give users a free Enterprise Account (90/month value) in return for installing PiAware. If you don’t have PlanePlotter, you can download it and then send FlightAware your installation’s serial number and we’ll buy you a license.

Using the five simple steps below, you can configure your Raspberry Pi to feed FlightAware. The PiAware installation process takes only a few minutes. We are testing antennas and want to compare coverage. Using a fresh raspbian minimal did the job. FlightAware will also give users a free Enterprise Account ($90/month value) in return for installing PiAware. PiAware users can simultaneously use data from their Raspberry Pi running dump1090 and also send flight data to FlightAware via PiAware. Download PiAware image, 312 MB direct link or webpage link, takes time, do steps below while it downloads. I do not use planeplotter because it looks terrible compared to VRS and I like being able to share a link and let friends see from my computer what my setup is finding. It's best to place all installation files in the same folder. I have RTL1090, Virtual Radar Server, SDRSharp. If you don't have PlanePlotter, you can download it and then send FlightAware your installation's serial number and they will buy you a license. I heard you have to 'claim your receiver' but when I check I see nothing familiar that I use.

The PiAware installation process takes only a few minutes. To see how ADS-B data is put to use, check out the FlightAware Live Map. FlightAware has over 500 user-hosted ADS-B sites online across 60 countries, with top contributors tracking over 10,000 aircraft per day. Most aircraft within Europe by 2017 and USA by 2020 will be required to have ADS-B transmitters onboard.įlightAware’s user-hosted worldwide ADS-B receiver network tracks about 90,000 unique aircraft per day and feeds this live data into the FlightAware website in combination with other public/private flight tracking data sources. If you are running an inexpensive Raspberry Pi ADS-B receiver with dump1090 then you can install the PiAware Package from FlightAware to freely view nearby flight traffic and transmit this data to FlightAware’s tracking network.
