Event Push Alerts

Summary: Getting notified automatically when a new aviation event is published near you.

Rather than checking the Aviation Events list yourself, you can set the map to notify you automatically.

To set up event alerts:

1. Open the Event Alerts settings.
2. Set your home location.
3. Choose a radius — 10, 25, 50, or 100 miles.
4. Save.

You’ll then receive a push notification whenever a new event is published within your chosen radius, provided it falls within the next 48 hours. Alerts go out for the events people travel for — air displays, flypasts and royal flights — not for routine military activity such as exercises and refuelling, which stay on the map only. This uses the same browser push notifications as Flight Tracker alerts — see the Alerts & Notifications category for how to enable push on your device if you haven’t already.
