It's hard to explain live tracking

Live tracking

It’s surprisingly hard to explain live drone tracking on a website without actually showing it.
You can talk about transparency, real-time data, and situational awareness all you want — but until people see a live flight moving on the map, it remains abstract.
That’s why I’m sharing this example.
It shows what live tracking looks like in practice: a real-time view of an active drone operation, directly on the website, accessible to anyone who needs context, residents, authorities or stakeholders.

Privacy comes first.
You cannot simply browse or search the website for active live-tracked flights.
Live tracking is only visible when the flight operator explicitly chooses to make a flight public and shares this with stakeholders. Control always remains with the operator.

For this specific flight, not all telemetry data was transmitted.
That was a deliberate choice. The platform fully supports sending complete telemetry: position, altitude, heading, speed, and more when required.
