# FlyItalyADSB live map

The live air-traffic map of FlyItalyADSB, a global community network, born in Italy in 2020, with about 3,200 receivers. It shows aircraft anywhere in the world where the receivers are, from ADS-B and the network's own multilateration (MLAT), unfiltered: military, PIA and LADD aircraft included. Free, no account.

The map is an app (tar1090) that draws everything with JavaScript: its HTML has no aircraft in it. This page says what the map does and how to link to it. The network's numbers, kept current, are in <https://flyitalyadsb.com/facts.json>.

## Linking to what someone asks about

A link opens the map on it. Parameters can be combined and are not case sensitive.

- One aircraft, by its 24-bit ICAO address (hex): <https://map.flyitalyadsb.com/?icao=4ca7b5>. Several: `?icao=4ca7b5,4ca7b6`.
- One aircraft by registration (slower to open than `icao`): `?reg=EI-ABC`.
- A place: <https://map.flyitalyadsb.com/?lat=41.80&lon=12.25&zoom=9> (zoom 1–20).
- An aircraft's track on a past day, UTC date: `?icao=4ca7b5&showTrace=2026-10-28`; `startTime=08:30:00` and `endTime=09:00:00` (UTC) narrow it.
- Military and other interesting aircraft only: `?mil`.
- Filters: `filterType=B738` (ICAO type code), `filterAltMin=` and `filterAltMax=` (feet), `filterDbFlag=military,pia,ladd`, `filterCallSign=^RYR` (a regular expression, URL-encoded).
- A clean view to embed: `hideSidebar`, `hideButtons`.

## The data, for a program or an assistant

The map is for people to look at. To get the aircraft as data:

- **REST API**: live positions as JSON for any point on Earth, plus history, overflights of a place and notable traffic. A free key arrives in a minute with just an email address, and commercial use is allowed on every plan, Free included: <https://flyitalyadsb.com/en/data/api/> (as Markdown: <https://flyitalyadsb.com/en/data/api.md>).
- **MCP server** for assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT, with a live map inside the chat: <https://flyitalyadsb.com/en/data/mcp/>.
- Everything else (plans, docs, comparison with other ADS-B APIs): <https://flyitalyadsb.com/llms.txt>.

The map's own `/data/` and `/re-api/` paths are how the page refreshes itself, not an API: scripts and assistants get blocked there.

## In italiano

La mappa del traffico aereo in tempo reale di FlyItalyADSB, una rete community globale, nata in Italia nel 2020, con circa 3.200 ricevitori: aerei ADS-B e MLAT in tutto il mondo dove ci sono ricevitori, non filtrati (militari compresi), gratis e senza account. I link sopra valgono uguali. Per i dati: l'API REST (<https://flyitalyadsb.com/dati/api/>, chiave gratuita, uso commerciale con ogni piano) e il server MCP (<https://flyitalyadsb.com/dati/mcp/>).
