How does ADS-B work?

Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) technology is fundamental to how Flightradar24 tracks flights. In this video we explore how ADS-B works and look at it's major components, including how this technology enables aircraft to broadcast their callsign, position, altitude, speed, and other important data. As well as the range of ADS-B broadcasts, satellite based ADS-B and future uses and benefits.

I love Flightradar24

[@earthlyvibes23]

This app changed my life. Made me love aviation more

Are you seeing ADS-B jamming in areas where GPS jamming is occurring?

[@FlyingMaxFr]

ADS-B contain GNSS data so it would broadcast incorrect GPS coordinates if jamming is occuring, so in any case even indirectly ADS-B data is impacted by GPS jamming

Very informative! ✈️✈️✈️

Thanks to flight radar, I was able to confirm a flight I saw take off had an issue. I was able to track it and know when it was about to land. I was able to get to a good vantage point to film the arrival and upload here. Thank you Flight Radar 24 👍🏻👍🏻

Nice

Is there any way to buy or make an aircraft radar to establish communication with them?

[@VegasHeavyAircraft]

Do you think ADS-B data will ever become encrypted and inaccessible to the public?

[@grayrabbit2211]

If it will cost aircraft owners $, absolutely not.

[@saschapeischl4690]

sorry, I didn't understand that, it was too complicated for me
😢

[@adriancarey7848]

I wonder why satellite ADS-B couldn't see MH370😢

[@lipiram]

The pilots switched off their transponder, without the transponder there is no ads-b broadcast

[@FreddyNL]

So that’s why real time tracking is necessary, that’s what they’ve been rooting for since Air France 447 already.

I found the Area 51 plane

[@gekkehansie]

where was it? in Area 51?

[@Supreme_MJ]

@@gekkehansie it took off from Las Vegas

[@FreddyNL]

@@gekkehansieI guess area 52 😉

[@mancroft]

The background noise is irritating and unnecessary.
