Tracking a flight in Aviato

Tracking a flight in Aviato

This guide explains how to track a live flight using Aviato’s Flight Tracker.


Access the Flight Tracker

You can access the Flight Tracker without logging a flight.

  • Open aviato.so or the Aviato App.
  • Select Flight Tracker from the top navigation.
  • The tracker opens on a global map with a flight search panel.

Search for a flight

Enter a flight number in the search field.

  • Use the full flight number (e.g. BA117, CX530).
  • Tap or click Track Flight.

Aviato locates the most recent active or completed instance of that flight.


View live flight details

Once loaded, the tracker displays:

  • Aircraft position on the map
  • Route from departure to arrival
  • Flight number and status (en route, landed)
  • Departure airport and takeoff time
  • Arrival airport and estimated arrival time
  • Local time at the aircraft
  • Live flight progress bar

The map and progress update automatically while the flight is active.


Track completed flights

For landed flights, Aviato shows:

  • Final route flown
  • Actual takeoff and arrival times
  • Total flight duration

Completed flights remain available for review and logging.


Log the flight to your logbook

If you’re signed in:

  • Select Log my flight from the flight panel.
  • Aviato opens a pre-filled logbook entry using tracked data.
  • Review and save to add it to your logbook.

Tracked flights can be logged immediately or reviewed later.


Share and reuse

Tracked flights can be:

  • Shared with friends or family
  • Revisited using the same flight number
  • Used as the starting point for accurate flight logging

Flight Tracker connects live data directly to your logbook, reducing manual entry and improving accuracy.
