Then they'd have to shut down FlightRadar. And FlightAware...


Those do filter out military flights and anybody else who asks (e.g. millionaires with private jets).

ADSBExchange.com does not, I always use that as it's completely free and fully powered by volunteers. They don't do any filtering or add artificial delays. Recently they've even added MLAT reception of pre-ADSB flights (needs quite a bit of coverage in the area though!)

Asked directly they try to refuse as long as they can. However, they seem to use the block list maintained by the FFA. Sign ip now through a new convenient online form [0]. The seem to accept non-N registered, too.

ADSBexchange continues to refuse, but there's still some hope. FAA adding convenience to their process shows the pressure is rising.
