How it works

DFW pulls live aircraft data from the ADS-B network — the same transponder signals your local receiver picks up. Data is refreshed server-side every 30 seconds and served globally with no rate limits. Toggle Live Traffic in the Overlays panel to see all airborne aircraft. Click any plane icon for a full detail card and flight track breadcrumb.
