Dataset Card for LiveATC Recordings (Partial 2024-08-26)

Dataset Summary

This dataset contains a partial collection of 21,172 air traffic control audio recordings from LiveATC.net for the date August 26, 2024. The recordings are organized by ICAO airport code and stored in .tar.zst archives. Due to rate limiting on LiveATC.net, this dataset represents an incomplete sample rather than a full day's recordings as originally planned. It is provided as-is for research purposes.

Languages

The dataset is multilingual, with English being the primary language. Other languages may be present depending on the airport location:

  • English (en): The majority of the content
  • Other: Some content in other languages may be present

Dataset Structure

Data Files

The dataset consists of audio recordings: MP3 files stored in .tar.zst archives, named by ICAO airport code.

Data Fields

This dataset includes the following fields:

  • audio: The MP3 audio recording file
  • icao: ICAO code of the airport (derived from audio filename)
  • facility: Type of ATC facility (e.g., "CTAF", "TWR", derived from audio filename)
  • date: Date of the recording (derived from audio filename)
  • time: Time of the recording in UTC (derived from audio filename)

Data Splits

All examples are in a single split.

Audio Naming Convention

Audio files follow this naming convention: {ICAO}-{Facility}-{Month}-{Day}-{Year}-{Time}Z.mp3

Example: 1G0-CTAF-Aug-26-2024-0000Z.mp3

Considerations for Using the Data

This dataset could be used to improve air traffic control systems and study aviation safety. However, users should be aware of privacy considerations related to recorded voice communications. The dataset is incomplete and may not represent a full day's worth of communications. Audio quality may vary. Legal and ethical considerations of using recorded ATC communications should be carefully considered.

Users should consult LiveATC.net's terms of service and relevant aviation authorities regarding the use of air traffic control recordings for their specific purposes.
