Yes, you can build an ADS–B receiver yourself. If your area (like mine) already has a decent coverage, then your request will be denied, and you will be offered to build your own receiver. In order to improve the coverage, FlightAware even sends such receivers ( FlightFeeder) for free to anyone who wants it, although it depends on the area of residence. This data can be received by anyone, and that’s what FlightAware does - they have a network of ADS–B receivers all over the planet, and the more receivers are there the better is the network’s coverage.
To lift those limitations and to gain some other features you can either purchase a Premium Account, or feed FlightAware with data.Įvery plane has an ADS–B transponder, which periodically sends data about plane’s altitude, speed and so on, that helps to track the plane. And they provide public access to the tracking data, although with some limitations. To put it (very) simple, FlightAware is a company that tracks air-planes.
