PlaneTrack Flight Widgets

Description

Put live flights on your site in one line. The widgets come from PlaneTrack.ai, an independent flight tracking network, and update on their own: the map live, the flight card every 30 seconds, the airport board every minute.

  • [planetrack_map] the live map; add lat, lon and zoom to center it on your airport or town.
  • [planetrack_flight callsign="UAL1"] one flight as it flies: route, progress, altitude, speed, ETA.
  • [planetrack_airport code="KJFK"] departures and arrivals for an airport (ICAO or IATA code). General aviation fields without a schedule show the movements PlaneTrack’s receivers recorded.
  • [planetrack_airport_module code="KSMO" key="apt_..."] the paid Airport Module: a branded live map around the field, recorded arrivals and departures, weather and activity statistics. Key from planetrack.ai/embed.html.

The same options are available as the “PlaneTrack flight widget” block.

Free to use on any site, commercial sites included. The one condition: keep the PlaneTrack.ai link inside the widget visible. No ads, no cookies set on your site, no tracking of your readers by the widget. Aircraft on the FAA privacy list (LADD) never appear.

External services

The widgets are iframes loaded from https://planetrack.ai (the embed pages under /embed/). Nothing from your site is sent to PlaneTrack except the widget URL (which contains the options you chose) and the usual browser request headers. Terms: https://planetrack.ai/terms.html. Privacy: https://planetrack.ai/privacy.html.
