ADS-B is only commercial flights? I thought many kinds of flights are broadcasting. Does Flightradar24 only track commercial flights?

- mcpherrinm 3y agoI doubt there’s any private flights over Ukraine too. Military planes generally don’t advertise their location in combat zones
- rjsw 3y ago> Military planes generally don’t advertise their location in combat zones They might if they are from countries neutral to that conflict, like NATO flights over the Black Sea.
- egorfine 3y agoNo flights at all. About three or four civilian aircrafts were able to leave Ukraine during the war and every departure was a major military operation to undertake.
- FireBeyond 3y agoIt tracks private flights too. I'm only tangentially familiar (though I have an ADS-B receiver reporting to FR24), but my understanding is that it's not required for private flight now, but more and more aircraft are being retrofitted. Actually, it's more about airspace: https://www.aopa.org/go-fly/aircraft-and-ownership/ads-b/where-is-ads-b-out-required https://www.aopa.org/go-fly/aircraft-and-ownership/ads-b/whe... "The FAA requires ADS-B Out capability in the continental United States, in the ADS-B rule airspace designated by FAR 91.225: Class A, B, and C airspace; Class E airspace at or above 10,000 feet msl, excluding airspace at and below 2,500 feet agl; Within 30 nautical miles of a Class B primary airport (the Mode C veil); Above the ceiling and within the lateral boundaries of Class B or Class C airspace up to 10,000 feet; Class E airspace over the Gulf of Mexico, at and above 3,000 feet msl, within 12 nm of the U.S. coast."
