Abstract
Methods, systems and devices for real position reports between an aircraft and a terrestrial network using SwiftBroadband and a set of calculation instructions which identifies the specific aircraft and calculates multiple variables including, but not limited to, Speed, Heading, Departure Airport, and Arrival Airport. Once all variables have been calculated the system tracks the aircraft status on a map for multiple platforms. The position tracking system generates position reports that can be integrated into combined mapping system of other source data to give the most accurate position data possible.
