## What is AvTraffic?

AvTraffic monitors traffic from multiple sources and provides visual and audible alerts.

AvTraffic merges

- ADS-B traffic from an optional ADS-B traffic receiver (Stratus, SkyEcho etc),
- ADS-B traffic and Mode-S only traffic from ADS-B Exchange,
- gliders from The Open Glider Network and
- other AvTraffic users.

It continuously monitors the combined results for potential conflicts.

Even if you already have ADS-B in, AvTraffic comprehensively shows additional traffic from the sources shown above.

Best of all, AvTraffic is designed to work with your favourite EFB app and show the combined traffic on the EFB map view. Traffic is sent in background using the GDL90 protocol.

Download AvTraffic today, and spread the word - the more pilots using AvTraffic the better!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-07-23*

I run this app alongside OzRunway on a split screen. 
This app really comes into its own approaching the circuit area.

### 5/5 — Life Saver

*2026-01-07*

I’ve used this app for over a year now and feel expoed flying without it. Best is the audible TCAS-like conflict alerts thru my Bluetooth connected headset. Also seems the most comprehensive traffic I can feed my EFB

### 5/5 — Life Saver

*2025-06-10*

I’ve used this app for a year now and feel exposed in the air without it. ✈️. Love the audio TCAS-like conflict alerting via Bluetooth-connected headset. Also much more relevant low latency realtime traffic is shown  on my EFB now. Thanks AvTraffic Team! 🙏

### 5/5 — Great idea for low-level soaring

*2024-11-27*

I’ve been monitoring basic adsbexchg data in my glider to see other nearby aircraft, but that’s all just phone visual. I really like avtraffic audible alerts based on predictive positions, or if cell internet lost.  Should work great where I fly and cell towers are common.  Can’t really test until spring, but ground testing seems excellent.

### 5/5 — Great visual reference to traffic

*2023-12-19*

Great little app that is very useful and integrates easily to EFB. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-09-09*

I only wish it were available on Android with ability to run off rtl-sdr dongle

### 3/5 — Subscription

*2022-04-10*

Updates added air nav pro to automatic opening … further update now charges.

### 5/5 — Outstanding App

*2021-03-25*

I hope it takes off. The more users the better The coverage. Integration with Ozrunways is very useful

### 5/5 — MUST HAVE!!!

*2020-07-18*

Not everyone can afford ADS-B, this is the closest thing that comes to it.  It’s an amazing concept, even more amazing is the app.  Definitely a must have just like an ELT is for pilots if it’s not more important.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2020-06-26*

Great app for ‘seeing’ other traffic that doesn’t appear on your EFB.
If you could integrate this with an EFB (AvPlan etc.) so that you don’t need to flick between applications, that would be much appreciated!
Cheers
