Data sources & attribution

Aamava is built entirely on public flight and reference data. These are the sources that make it possible.

Live ADS-B flight data

adsb.lol ↗

Community ADS-B aggregation network. Live aircraft states (position, altitude, speed, callsign) polled across a CONUS grid. Data © adsb.lol contributors, licensed under the Open Database License (ODbL) v1.0. Aamava is an independent consumer and is not endorsed by adsb.lol.

Part 135 certificate holders

FAA ↗

The FAA's published list of legal Part 135 operators: certificate names, designators, and authorized aircraft (~1,800 operators, ~11,300 tails). Used for callsign-to-operator resolution and operator verification.

Aircraft registry

FAA (ReleasableAircraft) ↗

Mode-S hex ↔ N-number ↔ manufacturer/model mapping for the US-registered fleet.

Call sign designators

FAA Order JO 7340.2 ↗

The master table of three-letter designators and telephony callsigns used to identify charter operators on the radio and in ADS-B.

Airport reference data

OurAirports ↗

Public-domain airport database (identifiers, coordinates, runway information) used for leg endpoints and search.

Privacy note: Aamava honors the FAA's LADD (Limit Aircraft Data Displayed) program. Aircraft whose owners have opted out of public tracking are excluded from our public empty-leg display.
