Raspberry Pi 4 PiAware Aircraft Tracking Kit

Create your own FlightAware ADS-B Aircraft Tracking Ground station with our super-convenient PiAware Tracking kit!

Our flight tracking starter kit includes everything you need to get started, including a Raspberry Pi 4 4GB board. Just plug in your existing monitor, keyboard and mouse and start tracking aircraft.

With advice from the nice folks at FlightAware, we carefully selected the best components to create a flight tracking starter kit that's affordable, perfect for beginners yet expandable for those who then want to build on the project further down the line.
