Example Traffic Map
The animations were made from individual maps produced by the FlyteTrax program from FlyteComm, Inc. The program displays the real-time geographic location of airborne IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) air traffic anywhere in the FAA air traffic system. On start-up, the program connects to the FlyteComm server through the Internet and receives the current database of air traffic activity. Once the initial database is downloaded, aircraft movement messages are directed through the Internet to the FlyteTrax program. The position of flights is updated every minute. The map below shows all incoming and outgoing traffic for Minneapolis/St. Paul airport for a weekday at 12:52 PM CDT. Planes are color-coded by airline. Click on map for a larger view.
