## What is FlightSpot?

The plane tracker built for plane spotters.

Most flight apps are built for the flight - where it is, when it lands. FlightSpot is built for the person at the fence: what is flying near you right now, which aircraft deserve your attention, and a logbook of every one you have spotted.

Start free, no account required.

LIVE SKY MAP

YOUR SPOTTING LOGBOOK
- Log a sighting with one tap

- Spotting sessions turn a day at the fence into one summary: totals, new registrations, new types, and your rarest catch
- Everything you log stays yours, always readable

AIRPORTS AND WATCHLISTS
- Save your home airport and see the aircraft near it
- Watch for specific registrations or types - matches surface on the map while you spot

DISCOVER

NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED

FLIGHTSPOT PRO
Upgrade for unlimited sightings, unlimited saved airports, advanced watchlist rules, and the full Discover feed. Start with a 7-day free trial.

HONEST ABOUT COVERAGE
Aircraft positions come from a community network of ADS-B receivers. Coverage is strongest near cities and major airports, and aircraft that are not broadcasting - or are outside receiver range - may not appear. What you see is what the network hears, live.
