ACARS MAP — WHAT DO YOU SEE?

ACARS is a digital messaging system for aircraft. Via VHF radio or satellite, aircraft and air traffic controllers automatically exchange short messages — about weather, routes, clearances and position. This map shows where those messages originate from.

● MARKERS ON THE MAP

Purple — Aircraft position
Exact location of the aircraft at that moment, received via satellite or VHF.

Red — Military aircraft
Identified as military based on callsign or hex code.

Green — Airport (APT)
An airport that appeared in a message as departure, destination or reference.

Blue — ATIS weather station
ATIS = automatic weather report from an airport. Aircraft request this before landing: wind, visibility, QNH, active runway.

Yellow diamond — FIR boundary
FIR = Flight Information Region. Aircraft reported in this airspace area (e.g. Amsterdam FIR, London FIR).

Green OO — OOOI event
OUT (door closed), OFF (wheels up), ON (landing), IN (arrived at gate). Click for flight history of that airport.

Orange triangle ! — NOTAM zone
Active NOTAM with coordinates — drone zone, restricted area, obstacle or construction. Often shown with an orange circle or polygon on the map.

Red triangle ! — GPS interference warning
SATCOM Direct alert — GPS jamming or spoofing detected in this FIR. Received via ACARS from aircraft flying through affected regions (Baltic, Mediterranean, Baghdad, Tehran, Tel Aviv etc.).

SIGMET zone — Significant Meteorological Information
Hazardous weather received via ACARS, shown as a coloured polygon. Colours: red=thunderstorm/TS, orange=turbulence, blue=icing, purple=volcanic ash, yellow=other.

— LINES ON THE MAP

Purple — Flight route
Line from departure airport via current position to destination. Clickable for flight details.

Orange — PDC clearance
PDC = Pre-Departure Clearance. Departure clearance received digitally: squawk code, departure runway, climb altitude and destination.

Cyan — Ocean route (OCN)
North Atlantic clearance (OC1/B2). Aircraft receives approval to cross the ocean via specific waypoints at high altitude.

Yellow triangle — Waypoint
Navigation point along the route — ocean waypoints (N52W050), air traffic junctions (PIKIL, MIMKU) or military route points from flight plan.

Green — Dispatch route
Flight plan with fuel data (RF label). Shows registration, aircraft type and fuel quantity in kg.

Red — Military route
IFPS flight plan or FPN message from military flight. E.g. RRR (RAF) or RCH (USAF) from departure to destination.
