Cockpit: Live Flight Tracker

Cockpit is a live flight tracker and plane radar that tells you what is actually happening in the sky. Use it as a flight radar and plane finder for the aircraft around you, read the ACARS messages pilots send to their airline, and know the moment an aircraft declares an emergency, all explained in plain English.

EVERY PLANE, EXPLAINED
- A calm, fast ADS-B flight radar of the airplanes around you, updated every few seconds
- Tap any plane for its route, the track it has flown since takeoff, altitude, speed and aircraft type
- An AI summary on each flight tells you in one line what it is doing
- A plane tracker for airliners, business jets, military aircraft and helicopters, built for plane spotting

PILOT MESSAGES (PRO)
Airliners send short text messages to their airline over a datalink called ACARS: maintenance reports, weather requests, diversions, medical calls. Cockpit decodes these pilot messages and explains each one in plain English, next to the flight on the map. See what happens on the flight deck, in words you understand. Personal details are removed before anything is stored or shown.

AIRPORT RADAR
Tap an airport to see every plane on the ground and in the pattern, drawn on the real runways and taxiways, with delays and closures. Listen live to air traffic control (ATC) on the tower or ground frequency with a transcript: 3 free minutes a day, unlimited with Pro.

AI EXPLAINED
Airport weather and forecasts (METAR and TAF) decoded into plain words, and NOTAMs translated from pilot shorthand into sentences anyone can read.

EMERGENCIES, THE MOMENT THEY HAPPEN
When an aircraft squawks 7700, 7600 or 7500, diverts, or an airport issues a ground stop, Cockpit opens an event with a clear headline, a plain English story, a timeline and the flight on the map. Latest emergencies are open to all.

ALERTS, IN YOUR OWN WORDS (PRO)
- Get notified about emergencies near your home or anywhere in the US
- Write your own rule in plain English, like "military aircraft near Denver"
- A weekly summary of what happened in your skies, included for everyone

FOLLOW A FLIGHT (PRO)
Follow any flight with a live notification that updates while it is in the air, plus home screen widgets for planes nearby and your followed flight.

WEATHER AND AIRSPACE LAYERS (PRO)
Weather radar, pilot reports of turbulence and icing, SIGMETs and AIRMETs, and temporary flight restrictions on the flight tracker map.
