Who Uses Ground Control's Aircraft Tracking Solutions?
Agricultural Aircraft
When crop dusting or topdressing, accurately tracking distance is crucial for billing. A satellite-enabled tracker is essential in areas without cellular coverage, offering hyper-accurate GPS readings, global coverage, and live and historical tracking data on an intuitive dashboard. Includes emergency alerts and two-way communication.
Flying Schools
A satellite-enabled tracking and communication device onboard your trainer aircraft greatly enhances pilot safety. It provides real-time global tracking, historical data on position, speed, and altitude, an emergency button for faster tracking and alerts, two-way messaging via Bluetooth, and cost-efficient hybrid cellular/satellite connectivity.
Airplane and Helicopter Tours
Enhance pilot and passenger safety with a global tracking and monitoring solution. It offers real-time location tracking, historical data for improved flights, an emergency button for faster tracking and alerts, take-off and landing notifications, geofencing with alerts, and cost-saving cellular connectivity where possible.
Charter Flights
Whether servicing private jets, group charters, cargo, or helicopters, knowing the location of your aircraft, pilots, and passengers enhances safety and communication. Our carry-on/carry-off device, typically mounted on the glareshield, provides 100% global tracking using the Iridium satellite constellation.
Private Aircraft Owners
Give your family, friends, and colleagues peace of mind with a satellite-enabled tracking and communication device for your flights. It offers global coverage, real-time and historical tracking on a map-based interface, easy carry-on/carry-off use, two-way messaging, and an emergency alert feature to notify chosen contacts quickly.
Search & Rescue
Staying connected is crucial for safety and coordination. Ground Control’s satellite-enabled tracker provides two-way communication along with real-time tracking and monitoring. It offers global coverage, features a map-based interface with current and historical locations, and includes emergency alert features.
How Does Our Aircraft Tracking Work?
The tracker’s integrated sensors capture the location, speed, altitude, heading and temperature of your aircraft, plus power loss and impact
Embedded aircraft sensors record fuel levels, weight, wear and tear, payload status and other telemetry, which is passed via serial or digital input to the tracker
All data captured by the tracker is passed on, by satellite or cellular*, to Cloudloop Tracking, or your preferred platform in real-time, so you can act on the information
*Cellular capabilities are dependent on the tracker. RockAIR has dual mode cellular and satellite connectivity, RockSTAR does not.
Recommended Devices for Aviation Tracking
RockSTAR is battery powered, and will last up to 12 months on a single charge. It's the preferred device of aviators who want a simple, robust safety solution, and a means of staying connected with their team or family. This device helped save the life of a co-pilot flying a Piper PA-46-350p, enabling him to text his wife when he crash-landed in Canada.
