Operations Data
The dashboard with all of your airport's operations
Receivers on your field.
A dashboard on your desk.
Every aircraft, drone, or equipped vehicle that touches your airport gets counted, identified, and stored.
RunwayStats watches your airspace and your airfield around the clock — and turns it into a record you can run an airport on.
Live traffic on screen.
Every operation logged the moment it happens.
Every day preserved.
One source. No estimating.
Each operation includes the time, registration, callsign, runway used, weather conditions, aircraft make and model, and owner — even publicly blocked tail numbers.
Slice the data by operation type, runway, weather, aircraft type, engine type, weight class, local vs transient, military vs civilian, and more — then download to CSV or print with one click.

Review noise complaints, reconstruct incidents, and analyze student flights — with synced ComGuard communications audio and historical weather for a complete picture of any event.
Purpose-built power-ups that take your operation beyond the dashboard
ADS-B and Remote ID drones, and the pilots flying them
Drones are air traffic now. RunwayStats has always tracked ADS-B-equipped drones with the receivers already on your field. The Drone Detection add-on adds a dedicated Remote ID receiver for the drones that don't carry ADS-B, which is most of them, and puts every one in your live view, playback, operations, analytics, heat maps, and notifications, right next to every aircraft on the field. See the drone, see the pilot, and know the moment a drone is somewhere the FAA has restricted.
Every Remote ID drone position is checked against FAA UAS Facility Maps and National Security UAS Flight Restrictions. When an airborne drone enters a restriction or climbs above its facility map ceiling, your team gets a text and email with a link to the drone's track, the pilot's location, and the restricted area.
Drones and manned aircraft live in the same record, with the same filters, reports, and playback. No separate system, no extra login, no extra screen for your staff to watch.
Drone detection isn't reserved for hubs and towered fields. Any RunwayStats airport can add it, from a small GA field to a commercial service airport.
From complaint to closure
A complete complaint management system, built for airport managers who stay ahead of their community — and the engineering firms that support them. Every complaint is logged, investigated, and tracked through resolution in one place, so nothing lives in an inbox or a sticky note.
The system automatically matches each complaint to the aircraft overhead at that time and place — registration, make and model, operator, altitude, and speed, even publicly blocked tail numbers. Replay the event in Playback with synced ComGuard audio and weather, and respond with facts instead of a shrug.
Complaints become data you can act on: trends by aircraft, operator, runway, time of day, and complaint location, plus repeat-complainant and repeat-offender tracking. Spot the patterns, target your noise abatement outreach, and show your board — or the public — exactly what's really happening.

Every flight plan, measured
Not just the airlines — every flight operating on a flight plan is tracked: air carriers, air taxi and charter, cargo, and IFR general aviation. Scheduled, estimated, and actual times for every arrival and departure, with on-time performance, gate usage, and taxi times calculated automatically — plus origin, destination, and flight plan data, and full aircraft details including operator, make/model, seats, and MTOW.
Diversion and cancellation notifications cover airline and air taxi flights alike, and delay alerts keep you ahead of airline schedule slips — so you know the moment plans change, not when the phone rings.
Your airport, live on any screen
Put real-time traffic and recent operations on any TV or monitor with our plug-and-play RunwayVision receiver — just connect HDMI and it's live. Perfect for FBO lobbies, operations offices, and flight schools, on or off the airport, so key personnel always have eyes on the field.
Every airport you manage, one login
Built for engineering firms, counties, port authorities, and airport groups with more than one airport under their wing. See activity across your whole portfolio at a glance, compare airports side by side, and drill into any facility without asking a single airport manager for numbers. The interactive map view overlays each airport with customizable charts — aircraft type, user category, AAC/ADG mix, and more.

Every Dataset Your Noise Study Needs — Measured, Not Estimated
A Part 150 study is only as good as the operational data behind it — and most studies still model an entire year of noise from a handful of sample radar days and tower estimates. RunwayStats replaces the guesswork with a continuous, measured record of every operation at your airport, organized into the exact inputs your acoustical team enters into AEDT and delivered through a self-serve Noise Study page built for engineers.
Annual operations and average annual day counts with a complete fleet mix — jets, turboprops, helicopters, and pistons — resolved to specific make and model for AEDT aircraft matching. Blocked tail numbers included.
DNL-ready splits across the 7 a.m.–10 p.m. day and 10 p.m.–7 a.m. night windows, evening splits for CNEL jurisdictions, and after-hours operation reports down to the individual flight.
Measured runway use percentages by aircraft category, day and night, over any date range — from actual operations, not recollections or wind-rose assumptions.
The actual arrival, departure, and pattern tracks flown — every one of them, all year — with corridor density and track utilization percentages. Model the tracks that were really flown instead of drawing representative ones.
Stage lengths computed from the real destination of every departure — the weight surrogate AEDT uses to select takeoff profiles — instead of a blanket assumption for the whole fleet.
Touch-and-gos, go-arounds, pattern work, local vs itinerant splits, and run-up activity captured with custom ground zones — the operations that sample-day radar data misses most.
The Noise Study page puts your engineering team in control: request and download nearly any dataset — any date range, any slice of the operation — without waiting on anyone. A complete, easy-to-use, one-stop shop for the aircraft traffic data behind your study.
Installation is quick and hassle-free. Mount the two antennas, run the cables to the receiver, and plug it in—it's that simple. Each system arrives pre-configured specifically for your airport, allowing you to start collecting valuable data right out of the box.
Flexible, Powerful Tiers for Every Airport
The tiers are just starting points. Pick and choose the features your airport actually needs — any feature, from any tier. We customize every subscription, so your package fits your operation, not the other way around.
Cost, Installation, Contracts, And Coverage
All hardware, setup, activation, and shipping are included in your subscription costs. Although the system is designed to be self-installed, professional installation, if requested and available, is $599.
The RunwayStats receiver only requires standard AC power and can be mounted inside or outside on a wall or pole. The antennas connect to the receiver and require a clear view of the airport property. Antenna cables are available in multiple lengths up to 25ft to fit your needs. Wifi and/or Ethernet, while encouraged to provide multiple internet connections, is not required.
After installation, we recommend that either an ethernet cable be plugged in or a wifi connection be provided, but this is not required. The system comes with a built in cellular internet connection. We work with T-Mobile and Verizon to provide the best service in your area and this is included in your subscription cost.
The minimum contract term is 12 months. You have the option to extend your contract for up to 5 years. One of the primary advantages of securing a longer contract is the guarantee that your price will remain unchanged for the duration of that contract. This provides you with both predictability and stability in terms of cost.
Customers that request subscriptions for multiple airports should contact us to discuss the volume pricing we are able to provide.
The RunwayStats system comes with a backup Lithium battery and will continue to run and collect traffic data for approximately 5-7 hours on battery backup. You, and your selected contacts, will receive a text message and/or email notification that the power has been lost. If the power is not re-connected before the battery dies, tracking will stop and the system will send another notification of this secondary outage.
Yes, our system tracks and logs all aircraft, including those with blocked tail numbers. However, in certain cases, some aircraft information will not be available. There are several ways in which aircraft owners can restrict the broadcast of their information:
LADD (Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed) Program: Aircraft owners have the option to filter their flight data from public display on websites like FlightAware or FlightRadar24. Despite this, our system continues to fully track and log the aircraft's data.
PIA (Privacy ICAO Aircraft Address) Program: Some aircraft owners request an alternate, temporary ICAO aircraft address, which is not registered in the Civil Aviation Registry (CAR). While our system still tracks and logs the aircraft's operations, it cannot provide specific aircraft data, such as type, dimensions, or owner information.
"Anonymous" Mode: Certain UAT (Universal Access Transceiver) systems, commonly used by smaller aircraft, offer an "Anonymous" mode. This mode can be activated via a switch when the aircraft is squawking 1200 (VFR) on their transponder and not using ATC services. Although our system tracks both the 978MHz and 1090MHz equipped aircraft, the available aircraft and owner information is limited while the aircraft is operated in this mode, similar to the operations described under the PIA program.
Yes. ADS-B-equipped drones are tracked by the standard RunwayStats receivers on every system, with no extra hardware. The Drone Detection add-on adds a dedicated Remote ID receiver for the drones that don't carry ADS-B, with the pilot's location and alerts when a drone flies in restricted airspace.
Yes. RunwayStats warrants that the receivers will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of two years from the date of purchase. Please see Section V of the Equipment Lease Agreement for the full warranty disclaimer and limitation of damages.
