So you have visited this site and have no idea of what AirNav is all about?
Did you know that it is really easy, from your home, to get in touch with the real aviation world?
Let's start.
If you don't have an airband receiver (a radio to receive airband communications) and want to track in real-time thousands of flights with extreme accuracy the answer is simple: AirNav Live Flight Tracker.
You will be able to track in real-time more than 5000 flights, Live!
For further details please go to AirNav Live Flight Tracker page.
Do you have an Internet connection? If affirmative, by using AirNav Suite 4, you may track several flights all over the world. You will be able to see how traffic is distributed in the main oceanic areas, the Atlantic and the Pacific. Some incredible views of the world's airspace may be seen directly from your home:
Do you have an airband receiver (a simple radio that may receive aviation communications)?
These kind of radios may be found in any electronics shop. In the USA they are usually found at any Walmart or Radio Shack Store. A simple $80 USD receiver will do a good work. Check this page for airband receivers.
Turn on your radio and depending on the country you are in, select the proper ACARS frequency (131.550 in the USA, 131.725 in Europe, read AirNav ACARS Decoder Help for details). Then with a simple audio cable, connect the audio output of your radio to the line-in of your sound card. Using AirNav ACARS Decoder you will start to receive thousands of digital messages sent from aircraft and ground stations.
This type of communications between aircraft and ground stations is called ACARS. For more details about it please visit the best site about ACARS on the Internet, www.acarsonline.co.uk

You will be able to collect aircraft registrations to know if you are receiving messages from a flight for the first time or even see photos of the received aircraft. That's real photos of that real aircraft, not photos from a similar one. The program will return you a search over airliners.net airline photo repository, the biggest in the world, with more than 200 thousand photos!
If you have an HF airband receiver, more expensive than the small receiver above, you can receive and decode signals from flight sin the most remote places of our planet. This signals are called "Selcal", and it is sent from the controller to the pilot. To decode it, you can use AirNav Selcal Decoder . Just connect the audio output of your HF airband receiver to the line-in of your sound-card and the signals will be received.
And what about if you have all or any of these sources of data (Internet, ACARS or Selcal) and want to get the most of all of them? The answer is AirNav Suite 4.
This Software will get, work and organize all data received. You may even type any data manually. Flights sending position data will be tracked using semi-intelligent decoding routines.

Flight Simulator in not a Simulation anymore!
What is it about? No longer your traffic will follow the published schedules of airlines, as first generation AI traffic products did, or optimized schedules for the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 world, as MyTraffic does - now you will jump into the traffic as it is in real world - your simulation will initiate one minute before you fire up Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004.
Every canceled flight, every delay, every extra flight will show up, live instead of records.
Sounds complicated? Not at all. You just start a small program that fetches the necessary data from AirNav Systems servers and starts a converter that creates a traffic scenery file - once this is done you start Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. No longer you waste your time with optimizing traffic - you are live.
