Virtual Radar Aircraft Tracker

ADSB (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) is a surveillance technology used in aviation to track aircraft in real-time. It works by allowing aircraft to broadcast their position, velocity, and other relevant information via a transponder, which can be received by ground-based stations or other aircraft equipped with ADS-B receivers. This system provides precise tracking data, enhancing situational awareness for air traffic controllers and improving safety. The website “http://vrs.wiganradar.co.uk” was created to display live aircraft tracking above Wigan Aerospace using ADS-B receivers. It allows users to observe aircraft flying in the region and provides real-time data on their altitude, speed, and location, showcasing the capabilities of ADS-B technology in providing transparent and efficient monitoring of air traffic.
