🛩️ Flightpatch
Free · for flight schools & FBOs

Put your airfield on the live map.

Plug a ~$50 USB dongle into a computer you already have, run one installer, and your field goes live — every takeoff, landing, and pattern, in real time. No Raspberry Pi, no config, no hassle.

Windows is ready now as an early, not-yet-signed build. Because the file is brand-new, your browser may say “suspicious download” (choose Keep / Download anyway) and Windows may show “protected your PC” (More info → Run anyway). Both are just the unsigned-file warning and disappear once code-signing is finished. macOS & Linux coming soon.

🖥️ A live traffic board

Your field on the lobby TV, updating in real time.

✈️ Track your tails

Watch your own aircraft, with instructor landing alerts.

🗺️ ForeFlight-ready logbook

A permanent pilot logbook with one-click KML export.

📡 One or two dongles

ADS-B on 1090, plus VDL2/ACARS on 136 — auto-detected.

How it works
  1. Plug an RTL-SDR dongle + antenna into your office PC.
  2. Run the Flightpatch installer — driver, decoder, and feeder set up automatically.
  3. Your airfield lights up at adsbiq.com/airport.

Privacy

Flightpatch feeds the aircraft signals your dongle receives to the ADSBiq network — that's what you installed it to do. It also sends a small health heartbeat (software version, uptime, bytes fed, and your feeder's IP) so it can keep itself updated and appear on your dashboard. It does not collect personal files, browsing, or anything else, and it transfers no information to other networked systems unless specifically requested by the person operating it. Uninstalling removes it completely.
