The AirNav RadarBox filters available on RadarBox.com and apps are an excellent tool for anyone looking to filter flights and aircraft based on various parameters. The filters feature is displayed on the right sidebar on RadarBox.com and is the 5th option between the weather filter and map selector (as seen in the image above).

The variety of filters allows our users the freedom to customize what they want to see on the RadarBox.com map. Users can filter by:

1. By airline
2. By airport
3. By altitude
4. By speed
5. By aircraft class 
6. By aircraft model
7. By country of registration
8. By status 
9. By data source

Read on to learn more about our filters and how to use them!

1. Airline

The filter by airline is designed for users who are looking for flights of a specific airline or carrier. To use it, just type the airline name or IATA or ICAO code for a particular carrier. For example, we've typed in the ICAO code UAL (IATA code: UA) to observe United Airlines' active fleet.

Instead of entering the airline name or ICAO & IATA code in the search engine found on the right side of the RadarBox page, you can select a specific airline from the list available in the filter.

2. Airport

If you are looking to filter the movement between two airports, this filter option was made especially for you! You can filter the air traffic & activity between two different airports or a specific airport by entering the airport name or the IATA or ICAO code. In the screenshot below, we've filtered the flights between London Heathrow Airport and Miami International Airport.

3. Altitude 

The altitude filter provides the option to filter aircraft by altitude from 0 to 70,000 feet. We, for example, created a filter for aircraft that were flying between FL00 and FL369 all over the world. If you are trying to filter by altitude, this is the proper filter.

Like the above filter option, the speed filter aims to filter aircraft at a specific speed that ranges from 0 to 700 kts around the world. Select the initial velocity and maximum speed on the right side of the page, as displayed in the screenshot below.

7. Country of Registration 

The filter by country of registration is intended to filter aircraft with registration from a specific country. For example, below, we filter aircraft with US registration only. Each country has a different type of registration; airplanes with Spanish registration are usually registered with the initials EC (Echo Charlie). In contrast, in the USA, aircraft registrations start with the letter N (November).  o use this filter is very easy; just choose the country you want to filter by national aircraft registration.

8. Status 

If you intend to filter our search for aircraft that are diverting or even on the ground or airborne, this filter will assist you and show you the desired information on the map. Just select one of the three options available.

9. Data Source 

We currently provide a variety of data sources that include ground-based ADS-B, space-based ADS-B, ADS-C, MLAT, FAA SWIM, and others. With this option, you can filter by combined data sources or just one source. If you, for example, are interested in tracking airplanes tracked by satellite, just select the ADS-C and SAT ADS-B options.
