Quota – Flight Radar

Flights, weather and airports

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Take-off alerts even with the app closed, "Waiting for someone?" at airports, saved areas with their own widget and complete flight replays. All free, no account. Quota shows what is really in the sky. Every position comes from the aircraft itself, received by community networks of ADS-B receivers. Nothing is invented: every value says whether it is live, observed or estimated. And it is all free. RADAR • Live aircraft worldwide, no account and no key needed • Tap an aircraft: departure, the track it flew, its usual route and flight instruments that move • Search a flight code even when it is not flying: it appears as a ghost aircraft on its usual route, with the time it usually takes off • Saved areas: one tap takes you back to the places you watch often, and the widget shows the traffic there • "What plane is that?": point the camera at the sky and every aircraft gets a label WEATHER ON EVERY MAP • Animated wind from the NOAA GFS forecast, corrected with the wind measured by aircraft • Rain: the Italian Civil Protection radar over Italy, a NOAA GFS estimate everywhere else, with adjustable opacity • Forecast maps: clouds, thunderstorms, visibility, freezing level, icing, jet stream • Turbulence estimate, PIREPs, METARs, SIGMETs, erupting volcanoes • NASA satellite images: yesterday's clouds and the rain seen from space • Layers and filters in one panel, the same on every map; everything starts off YOUR FLIGHT • A boarding pass with airline, take-off, estimated arrival, distance flown and to go, and how reliable the estimate is • Vertical profile and weather along the route • Widgets, Live Activity, Dynamic Island and Apple Watch with complications • "Notify me when it leaves", even with the app closed; optional take-off, landing and position notifications • Flight replay with an altitude and speed chart • A log of the flights you followed, on all your devices with iCloud AIRPORTS • "Waiting for someone?": the aircraft on their way in with their estimated time, to follow until they land • Map with runways, terminals, departures and arrivals, car parks and estimated drone zones • Arrivals and departures board from live traffic, with the runway in use, holdings and go-arounds • Directions to departures, arrivals, car parks and the station with Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze • Weather (decoded METAR/TAF), crosswind for each runway, density altitude, estimated cloud base, frequencies, local time FOR PILOTS • A flight plan page like an onboard computer, with nav log, winds aloft and terrain profile • Along the route: SIGMETs, nearby pilot reports and possible icing at cruise level • Flight mode for iPhone and iPad: moving map, GPS instruments, Direct-To and every weather layer • Heavy rain flagged on the route and a proposed detour you decide whether to use; edit the route right on the map • Flight computer, weight and balance, checklists and logbook Quota is a support for planning and situational awareness, not a navigation or weather-avoidance instrument: always use official charts, NOTAMs and briefings. DRONES • Estimated zones around airports, manned traffic watch with sound and vibration, visual range circle, flight and battery timers, surface wind and Kp index, a flight log Quota does not grant authorisations: check the official maps and rules before every flight. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, no account, no tracking. Location and camera stay on your device; sync uses your own private iCloud. Only take-off alerts pass through a small Quota service, which knows flight codes and nothing about you. On a Mac with Apple silicon Quota runs as the iPad app. Data: adsb.lol (ODbL), adsbdb.com, NOAA Aviation Weather Center, NOAA GFS, NOAA SWPC, Radar-DPC Italian Civil Protection (CC BY-SA 4.0), NASA GIBS (GPM IMERG, VIIRS), Smithsonian/USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, OurAirports, OpenStreetMap, Planespotters.net, CelesTrak, AWS Terrain Tiles. Quota does not show official schedules, gates or delays: ADS-B does not carry them, so we do not pretend to.

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Your flights • The take-off alert now arrives even with the app closed • Distance flown and to go, and how reliable the estimated arrival time is • For a flight not yet in the air: the time it usually takes off, seen on previous days • Complete replays, including the hours the app was closed, with an altitude and speed chart • Searching a codeshare code (e.g. SN4133)? Quota explains how to find the operating flight Airports • "Waiting for someone?": the aircraft on their way in with their estimated time, and one tap to follow one until it lands • Arrivals and departures instead of check-in, with directions to them Radar and widgets • Saved areas: one tap takes you back to the places you watch often, and a new widget shows the traffic there • Layers and filters in one panel • Usual routes are checked against where the aircraft really is: when they don't match, they are not shown • The radar loads the traffic for the part of the map you can actually see "What plane is that?" • Labels that don't overlap, predicted position between updates, distance filter • A warning when the location is approximate or the compass is disturbed (in a car), and one-tap alignment Pilots • Pilot reports near the route and a possible-icing note at cruise level • Estimated cumulus base at airports; a sharper turbulence map And: a new welcome screen, Diagnostics and Space used in Settings, a fuller vertical profile, and an Apple Watch complication that no longer stays on a finished flight.
