Start here

AeroScope covers live tracking, spoofing detection and open research data, for anyone curious about their own sky, evaluating the platform, or working with the data. Pick the path that matches why you came, and skip the rest. It is not an air-traffic control tool and it only sees aircraft broadcasting ADS-B, see limitations for the full list of what it cannot do.

Pick your path

Three ways in

AeroScope covers a lot of ground, live tracking, spoofing detection, open research data. Rather than reading everything, start with the path that matches why you came.

I’m curious about my sky

You heard something overhead and want to know what it was.

  1. What's flying over my house?, find the aircraft overhead in about ten seconds
  2. Why is a plane circling?, what repeated orbits usually mean
  3. What helicopter is that?, EMS, police, news or patrol
  4. Is that aircraft a threat?, how to read the attention score calmly
  5. Open the live map, set your location and watch it live

I’m evaluating the platform

You want to know how it works and whether to trust it.

  1. How it works, the full pipeline, 1090 MHz to threat picture
  2. Data sources & provenance, every feed named, with refresh cadence
  3. Known limitations, what it cannot see, read before relying on it
  4. Platform status, live service health, queried in your browser
  5. Compare, honest comparison with other trackers
  6. Security, controls in place and how to report an issue

I’m a researcher or developer

You want the data, the methods or the API.

  1. Research & open dataset, the CC-BY ADS-B anomaly benchmark
  2. Behavioral baselines, how normal is learned per zone
  3. Detect ADS-B spoofing, the integrity and consistency checks
  4. API documentation, REST and WebSocket access
  5. AI access (MCP), query AeroScope from an AI assistant
