IVAO Active ATC gives you a complete, real-time overview of every Air Traffic Controller currently online on the IVAO network. Whether you're a virtual pilot planning your next flight, a controller checking who's staffing nearby positions, or simply an aviation enthusiast who loves watching the network come alive — this app puts all the information you need right at your fingertips. LIVE ATC LIST Browse every active controller worldwide. Each entry shows the callsign, station name, country flag, ATIS revision letter, frequency, and how long the controller has been online. The list auto-refreshes every 15 seconds so you always see the latest picture. INTERACTIVE COVERAGE MAP Visualize ATC coverage on a stunning satellite map. Tower and ground stations appear as markers, while approach and center stations display their actual airspace boundaries as polygon overlays. Zoom in to see individual airports or zoom out for a global view. DETAILED STATION INFO Tap any controller to see their full details: position type, frequency, active time, and the complete ATIS broadcast — including weather, active runways, approach types, and NOTAMs. Everything a pilot sees when tuning the frequency. PILOT TRACKING See all pilots currently flying in each controller's airspace. View callsigns, altitude, heading, ground speed, and full flight plans. Tap any pilot on the map to see their planned route from departure to arrival drawn as a line on the map. SMART SEARCH Instantly filter controllers by callsign prefix.
