## What is Pilot Live Map?

Pilot is a live map of the sky, the ground and space, anywhere in the world. Find your flight and ride along with it, or spot a plane overhead and look it up in a tap. See emergency incidents from official services near you, with full detail. Zoom out to the whole Earth and watch the space stations go by.

FOLLOW ANY FLIGHT
• Find your flight anywhere in the world by its flight number (QF1, SQ232, EK413), callsign or registration
• Ride along in Chase, Cockpit or Track-up view, on 3D satellite imagery, turning with the aircraft
• Heading, ground speed, altitude and climb rate, live
• Smooth movement between reports; over the ocean, out of receiver range, its position is estimated from its last speed and heading and clearly marked

AIRPORT WEATHER
• METARs and TAFs for airports worldwide, from the NOAA Aviation Weather Center
• Airports coloured by flight category: VFR, MVFR, IFR, LIFR
• Wind, visibility, cloud, temperature and QNH decoded

LIVE AIRCRAFT, WORLDWIDE
• Positions every 10 seconds from the ADS-B community network
• Aircraft type, registration, altitude, speed, climb and heading
• Tap a plane for its maker, model and operator, with a link to photos of that exact aircraft
• "Overhead now": everything near you, nearest first
• Military: every military aircraft the network is tracking, worldwide
• Emergency squawks flagged and announced

EMERGENCY INCIDENTS FROM OFFICIAL SERVICES
• Worldwide: GDACS (UN/EU disaster alerts), USGS earthquakes, NASA natural-event tracking
• Australia: ACT ESA, NSW RFS, Emergency Management Victoria, Queensland Fire Department, WA DFES
• USA: National Weather Service alerts · UK: Environment Agency flood warnings · New Zealand: GeoNet
• Tap any incident for every detail the agency publishes, a 3D or street-level view of the place, the official page and directions
• Alerts when a new incident starts within 25 km of you

SPACE
• Zoom out to a 3D Earth with the International Space Station, Tiangong, visiting spacecraft, bright satellites and GPS
• Optional Starlink layer
• Tap one for its altitude, speed and next orbit

WEATHER
• Current conditions and wind for wherever you're looking

ALWAYS UP TO DATE
• A live strip shows how many seconds ago everything updated, the nearest incident and the closest aircraft
• 3D terrain and buildings, dark map or satellite

Your location stays on your phone. Pilot has no account, no ads and no tracking.

Pilot is for information only and is not a navigation aid: never use it to navigate, avoid traffic or plan a flight. In an emergency call your local emergency number and follow the advice of the emergency services. Feeds can lag events on the ground. Satellite positions are approximate.
