Questions & Answers

How does FlightAware determine if my aircraft is a piston engine?

We use FAA registration data to determine if an N-number aircraft is a piston engine airplane.

Can I register a non-US aircraft to an Aviator account?

At this time, you can only register aircraft in the US and Canada. Since we need to determine the aircraft type programmatically, we can only verify these aircraft at this time. In the future we plan to add verification for other countries.

Can I register my multi-engine piston aircraft?

Yes, any piston engine aircraft can be registered to an Aviator account.

Are all features available on the web and the mobile apps?

Most features are available on both platforms, however some are not yet available on the mobile apps. All features are available on web, most are available on iOS. The Android version of our app does not yet allow Aviator subscription or aircraft management. We are regularly improving our platforms so features will become available as soon as we can devote development time.

Can I register an aircraft I don't own?

Yes! You can register any piston engine aircraft that you fly. So you can register the planes you rent, or your friends' aircraft.

Do I need an ADSB capable transponder to use Aviator?

Yes, aside from ADSB Out being required by FAA regulation, our position tracking is reliant on our network of ADSB receivers (the world's largest!). A 1090 ADSB transponder will give us the most accurate reporting. We also track 978 transponders, although the fidelity of these flight tracks may not be as good as a 1090 unit. Also, in very remote areas, we might not have receiver coverage, and so a track may be lost. However, our Hyperfeed flight tracking service will do its best to determine your track and stages of flight from the information we have available.

If I create a Flight Intent, is that flight filed with the FAA like a VFR or IFR Filed Flight Plan?

No, a Flight Intent is not filed with the FAA or any other authority. A Flight Intent is simply a flight scheduled in FlightAware's internal flight tracking system. Although you will get all of the benefits of a filed flight, such as a predictive ETA, the flight will not be tracked by the FAA. So you don't have to worry about cancelling the flight plan, or deviating from the filed route, like you would with an officially filed flight plan.
