Coverage depends on ground receiver reception and is not a complete picture of traffic.
Transponder & Tracking
The hex code is the aircraft's ICAO 24-bit address, broadcast by its ADS-B transponder. It is the key used to match live position reports to this registration.

Flights are inferred from sampled ADS-B positions, not from filed flight plans. Airports shown are the nearest field to where the aircraft was first and last seen at low altitude; endpoints outside receiver coverage are marked “not observed”. Durations are time observed, not block time.
