AirCell offers global flight tracking capability

By General Aviation News Staff · March 25, 2005 ·

AirCell has added automated flight tracking capability to its suite of airborne telecommunication systems.

With equipment installed in the aircraft, users on the ground can utilize Flight Explorer software to track the position of their aircraft in real time and tap a wealth of additional tracking features and functionality. The system uses any one of AirCell’s Iridium-based satcom systems, which means equipped aircraft can be tracked anywhere in the world, at any altitude — not just those on IFR flight plans within ATC radar coverage.

For more information: 703-418-0984.
