Tag: AFF
Automated flight following (AFF) is GPS aircraft tracking that is mandated by a government agency (or other governing body) for its contractors. The following criteria must be met:
- The device must transmit position reports every two minutes
- The position reports must be pushed into the third-party database (where they are automatically tracked by dispatchers)
Common uses for AFF devices are contractors flying for USDA during fire season and contractors flying for utility companies.

By using GPS satellites with the latest hardware and technology, you can now track any asset on earth, whether it's people, vehicles, containers, or any moving object! Our technology allows you to merge together all types of tracking equipment into one easy to use platform. The tracking equipment determines its location by triangulating a position using GPS (Global Positioning System) and then transmits this information via GSM, Satellite, or VHF to a central server for processing. Any operator can view and control any number of real time assets simultaneously.
It's never been so easy to track your personnel, vehicle or assets, wherever they are!
