The technology

How AvClock detects aircraft

Aircraft broadcast their position every second via ADS-B. AvClock receives those signals, applies your location and bearing, and shows only what's visible from your window.

Location-based filtering

Set your coordinates and compass bearing once. AvClock shows only aircraft within your personal line-of-sight cone. That is what makes it unique.

Real-time ADS-B data

Aircraft broadcast position, altitude, speed, and route via ADS-B several times per second. AvClock receives and processes this live, with no delay to your display.

Customisable detection zone

Adjust radius, altitude limits, and compass arc to match your window. Perfect for living under a busy flight path or near an airport.

Coverage

Works where you are

Whether you're in a city with dense flight paths, near a major airport, or somewhere quieter, AvClock adapts to your location and filters what's visible from your specific window.
