1. A method of providing aircraft position information within a Boundary at an airport, comprising:
receiving, by a local device comprising a computer, an antenna, and cabling connecting the antenna to the computer, a definition of an Aircraft Position from ADS-B message data of an aircraft from at least one of a third-party system, a Global Positioning System (GPS), a wireless base station, a cellular base station, and wireless beacon, the definition comprising an altitude and a geographical definition;
receiving, by the local device, a user-defined Boundary having a geographic outline and altitude floor and ceiling, and storing Boundary data;
determining, by the local device, the aircraft position relative to the user-defined boundary based on the ADS-B message data and the user-defined Boundary data, whether the Aircraft Position is within the user-defined Boundary, wherein the determining comprises processing the ADS-B message data and the user-defined Boundary data and filtering an output of the processing to provide a Possible Valid Position;
wherein the processing and filtering comprise applying data processing algorithms to handle real-time ADS-B data transmitted at standardized rates comprising messages transmitted at a rate of 0.2 to 15 seconds;
presenting, via a user interface, results as Possible Valid Positions to a user when Aircraft Positions are within the user-defined Boundary;
comparing, by a processing device, the results presented to the user to Rules stored on an application server, wherein the comparing comprises:
determining how long an Aircraft Position is within the Boundary; presenting, via the user interface, Aircraft Position data to the user when a time duration of the Aircraft Position within the Boundary meets a Rule; and
presenting, via the user interface, the results to users and third parties as Data Availability, wherein the user interface provides functionality for real-time interaction with and visualization of aircraft positions relative to user-defined boundaries.
