With the open aerops REST API, external systems can automatically transfer flight movements into the aeroPS electronic logbook. The recorded movements form the basis for statistics, billing, fee management, and operational planning at the airfield.

Together with our partners iwiation and Jetvision, we have already implemented several full integrations that enable a nearly fully automated capture and billing of flight movements.

1. Camera-based flight movement detection (iwiation)

The solution from iwiation uses specialized camera systems with dedicated analytics software to automatically detect takeoffs and landings.

For smaller airfields, typically two cameras are installed, for example on hangars or other suitable buildings. For maximum flexibility, the cameras can also be operated independently of existing infrastructure—including solar panels, buffer batteries, and 4G connectivity.

The software reliably detects flight movements, analyzes them, and automatically transfers the results into aerops.

2. ADS-B and multilateration data (Jetvision)

As an additional data source, ADS-B and multilateration data are integrated. Our partner Jetvision provides highly available position data, with coverage often extending down to ground level.

If individual flight movements cannot be clearly detected by the camera systems, the ADS-B data is used as a supplement. This significantly improves detection rates and data quality.

3. Airband radio recording with the aerops Radiomonitor

As a third data source, the aerops Radiomonitor is integrated. It reliably records airband radio communications and can automatically transcribe them if required.

The collected information is matched with data from camera and ADS-B systems and assigned to the respective flight movements.

Full traceability

All recorded information is stored in an audit-proof manner linked to the respective flight movement. This ensures full traceability at all times regarding which sources detected a movement and which data was used for subsequent billing.
