REAL-TIME AIRCRAFT TRACKING

On any internet-connected device, you can view, manage, and communicate with your entire fleet. With our iPhone, iPad, and Android app, know where your aircraft are from anywhere in the world. Simple.

ANYWHERE. ANYTIME. SIMPLE

Spidertracks is a world leader in satellite tracking devices for aircraft. Designed and built in New Zealand, Spiders continue to push the standard of real-time aircraft tracking. Spidertracks’ partnership with the Iridium network allows our Spiders to track an aircraft over every inch of the globe from takeoff to landing

HOW DOES A FREE TRIAL SOUND?

Sound too good to be true? We’ll send you a unit to try for two weeks to see for yourself. We’ll even give you free tracking during the trial. In some cases, you will be required to pay a deposit for the Spider prior to it being sent, but we’ll give all that back on its safe return.

SPIDER 3 

Designed for the safety-conscious commercial operator, the Spider 3 is compact with an integrated keypad and will easily fit on the glare shield. The Spider 3 is the workhorse of our real-time tracking options. With one way messages and automatic alerts, the Spider 3 is for anyone who just needs the basic benefits of real-time tracking.

The Spider 3 continues to be a proven and simply reliable solution for operators

SPIDER 6

The next BIG small thing in aircraft tracking. The new Spider 6 is for any operator who wants to know more than just where an aircraft is. Increasing your situational awareness remotely like never before, with the Spider 6 you can find out how an aircraft is being flown.

The Spider 6 comes standard with advanced features like Spidertxt and Altitude Event Alerts which can notify you in real-time to abnormal rates of climb and descent.

SPIDER 7

The Spider 7 builds on the trusted and reliable platform of previous Spiders to deliver a simple flight tracking solution for operators of more complex aircraft. Now with two versions, the external antenna Spider gives operators the ability to attach an external antenna directly into the Spider. The external antenna Spider 7 comes with a 1/4″ SMA connector and can now be mounted in more discrete locations away from anti-icing features that can cause issues for GPS signals.

SOS

The SOS button on the keypad can be used in an emergency to send instant alert messages to your pre-set emergency contacts.

PORTABLE

GPS and Iridium antennas are integrated – no external aerials required. The Spider plugs into the aircraft cigarette lighter outlet for quick interchange between aircraft/vehicles, or it can be hard-wired. No STC required

IRIDIUM SATELLITE NETWORK

Global coverage is provided in real-time by 66 low earth orbit satellites, with
information reaching the website in as little as 5 seconds.

WATCH

Actively track the aircraft as it sends position reports to the website. If an incident occurs and the Spider loses power, the website will automatically send an SOS message after 15 minutes of no communication.

MARK BUTTON & NOTIFICATIONS

Press the Mark button to send position reports manually, or set automatic takeoff and landing notifications through the website. Send up to four pre-set email and SMS messages through the website when a report is triggered.

GEOFENCE

Specify tracking boundaries in up to five circular areas and set custom update rates or suspend position reports automatically when inside these areas. This can reduce the cost of operation when flying in areas where tracking is not necessary.

SPIDERTRACKS AFF/API

Allows you to send tracking data to third parties in real time, including US Forest Service, or share information with maintenance tracking software.

SPIDERTXT

Send and receive SMS messages via your Spider by connecting an Android or iOS device through Bluetooth.

ALTITUDE EVENTS

Know when something isn’t right. Your aircraft can now alert you to changes in
altitude and send position updates in real time.

RADIUS

Radius suspends position reports in a defined circular area around your current location. Normal tracking will resume once you leave that area. The radius distance can be customized online. Only available with iOS Bluetooth Hardware.

EXTERNAL KEYPAD

With the new external keypad, you can mount the Spider 7 discretely out of the way but still have access to the Spider’s main buttons.

EXTERNAL ANTENNA

Have an aircraft that cant use traditional portable tracking devices? No worries – with the Spider 7 you can simply plug into an existing GPS/Iridium antenna on the aircraft or use a small antenna inside the aircraft with a clear view of the sky.
