Why AIP:Aero Ground Station
Free and ad-free
The traffic-display slice that airfield systems sell inside a paid platform, given away with no cost and no ads.
No installation
Runs in any browser - a tower PC, a tablet, a phone, or a smart TV in the clubhouse. Nothing to set up.
Approaches in view
Live traffic centred on your field, plus an incoming list sorted by distance and estimated time to the field.
An aggregator, not one feed
We aggregate and filter several traffic sources - OGN (gliders/FLARM), ADS-B and OpenSky - into one picture. A single-source tracker (Flightradar24, a standalone OGN feed, one on-board receiver) only ever shows its own slice of the sky.
Tower-screen kiosk mode
A fullscreen, always-on display that runs all day on an ops-room monitor or the screen in the flight-supervision office, a free airfield information display and the equivalent of an AMS Anzeigetafel.
Honest by design
Situational awareness only. Not ATC, not a separation service, never a basis for a clearance - you stay responsible under see-and-avoid.
Your field can feed this screen
If your airfield already runs an OGN receiver or an ADS-B feeder, its traffic is already on this screen, and on the Ground Station of every other field. There is nothing to switch on here.
You are not feeding us. You feed the public networks under your own registration, and we read them like everybody else: no account with us, no token, nothing sent to our servers.
The two networks carry different traffic: OGN carries the FLARM and glider traffic, the ADS-B aggregators carry the transponder traffic. A field that feeds both is visible in both.
An affordable Stratux receiver can do that job. Detailed instructions are in preparation.

Situational awareness only. The Ground Station is not ATC, not a traffic-alerting or separation service and never a basis for a clearance. The picture is incomplete and delayed - the absence of a target never means the sky is clear.
