A real-time map of aircraft over Arkansas. Hover or tap any plane for callsign, route, altitude, and speed; the panel refreshes automatically every 45 seconds.
The flight radar plots aircraft within roughly the Arkansas airspace, including general aviation, regional turboprops, mainline jets, cargo lifts, and overflights routing through nearby TRACONs. The map refreshes every 45 seconds.
Aircraft tracking benefits from a full-viewport map — the same data that sits as one tile in the Arkansas Gateway homepage Transport section gets a lot more useful when given the whole screen. Click any plane to see callsign, altitude, speed, heading, and where available the operator and route.
