FlightBagX Ground Station

Your own ADS-B receiver, ready to run.

A ready-to-run ADS-B ground station for real-time flight tracking and weather.

Mount it, power it over a single cable, and it streams the aircraft it sees straight into your FlightBagX app — and into the traffic network every pilot in your area relies on.

Handy with a Raspberry Pi? You can build your own from the open firmware instead.

FlightBagX Ground Station

Dual-band ADS-B

Receives both 1090 MHz (Mode S) and 978 MHz (UAT) at once — the complete traffic picture, including UAT weather and TIS-B.

Assembled & tested

Built, burned in, and provisioned before it ships. Unbox it, power it up, and claim it in the app — no soldering, no command line.

Bluetooth setup

No screen or keyboard. Provision Wi-Fi and claim the unit to your account right from the FlightBagX app in a couple of taps.

Live traffic in the app

Your receiver feeds the FlightBagX traffic network, fused with FAA SWIM for a single deduplicated picture on your map.

Free Pro while you feed

Active Ground Station operators get FlightBagX Pro on us — a thank-you for strengthening coverage in your area.

Over-the-air updates

The on-device updater keeps firmware current automatically. See the release history for what's new in every version.

Ready when you are.

Get the assembled hardware, or build your own on a Raspberry Pi — either way it feeds the same network.
