What it detects — and what it doesn’t
Detects: aircraft broadcasting FAA-mandated Remote ID over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi — position, identity, track, altitude, speed, and the operator’s location where it’s included in the broadcast.
Does not detect: aircraft with Remote ID disabled or absent, hand-built or FPV aircraft that don’t broadcast, or sub-250 g recreational aircraft not required to broadcast. More in the FAQ →
