About
Point your phone at the sky and see exactly what's flying overhead.
PlaneSpotting AR uses live ADS-B flight data to identify real aircraft in real
time, right through your camera. Unlike other AR flight trackers, it goes
beyond the basics — showing engine make, model, and horsepower alongside tail
number, aircraft type, speed, altitude, and distance, using the FAA's public
aircraft registry.
FEATURES
• Real-time AR overlay — point your camera and see live details appear over
each aircraft
• Deep aircraft detail — tail number, type, speed, altitude, engine, and
horsepower for US-registered aircraft
• Spotting log — automatically builds a life list of every aircraft you've
spotted, birder-style, with stats broken down by aircraft category and
certification (including Experimental and Light-Sport)
• Adjustable search radius — tune how far to look, from 1 to 10 nautical miles
• Free, no accounts, no ads, no tracking — your location is only used to find
nearby aircraft
Built for general aviation pilots and aircraft enthusiasts who want more than
a blip on a map.
PlaneSpotting AR is for spotting and entertainment purposes only — it is not
intended for navigation or any safety-of-flight use. Aircraft data comes from
free, community-run networks and may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate.
