Access and identify areas of navigational disturbance with GPS interference and jamming data overlaid on a map, updated every 6 hours. This data is sourced from NIC (navigation integrity category) values that we receive as part of the ADS-B protocol. We mark regions as affected if a significant number of flights in that area report lowered NIC values. How far back you’re able to go depends on your subscription level.

Aeronautical charts are available on the Flightradar24 website and our apps. They are divided into High Altitude charts, Low Altitude charts, and navaids. They can be incredibly useful for understanding why an aircraft is flying in a particular area and how they navigate through the sky safely and efficiently. We also include Oceanic Tracks from three separate Organized Track Systems, the North Atlantic (NAT-OTS), Pacific (PACOTS), and Australian OTS (AUS-OTS).

As part of the map page settings Oceanic Tracks can be toggled to display. The tracks in use vary depending mostly on the position of the jet stream.
Air traffic control areas of responsibility are divided into Flight Information Regions and Upper Information Regions (for high-altitude flight). When the ATC Boundaries layer is enabled, these are denoted by red lines on the map.
