Sky Spy: What's above me?

What plane is that above me? Sky Spy answers in seconds. Tap Scan Airspace and your iPhone becomes a live plane radar. Sky Spy shows the aircraft flying near you right now — airliners, business jets, helicopters and light aircraft — on a green tactical radar that turns with your phone, so the blip on screen lines up with the plane in the sky. Tap any aircraft to see its flight number, airline, aircraft type, route, altitude, speed and a photo of that exact plane. Free, with no account, no sign-up and no ads. WHAT YOU GET • Live plane radar: every aircraft broadcasting within your scan range (5–50 km), placed at its true distance and bearing and refreshed automatically. • Compass mode: the radar rotates as you turn, so you can point your phone at a plane and identify it. • Flight details: callsign, flight number, airline and logo, registration, aircraft type and squawk code. • Flight route: the departure and destination airports for the flight overhead. • Live telemetry: altitude, ground speed, climb or descent rate and heading. • Conditions aloft: wind speed and direction, outside air temperature and bank angle, when the aircraft reports them. • Aircraft photos: real photos of the exact airframe, matched by registration. • Share a flight with friends in one tap. • UFO mode: repaint the radar in electric yellow for a sci-fi skywatching session. • Built for iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo, with a two-pane layout on large screens, VoiceOver labels, Dynamic Type and haptic feedback. HOW IT WORKS Most aircraft broadcast their position, altitude and speed over ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast). Volunteer receiver networks — adsb.one, adsb.lol, adsb.fi and the OpenSky Network — pick up those signals, and Sky Spy asks them for every aircraft in a small area around you. Routes come from adsbdb and photos from Planespotters.net. Your location is used only to look up aircraft near you. If you turn Location Services off, Sky Spy uses an approximate location from your network instead and keeps working. PERFECT FOR • Plane spotters and aviation enthusiasts • Kids (and adults) asking "where is that plane going?" • Travelers watching arrivals and departures near the airport • Anyone who hears a jet overhead and wants to know what it is GOOD TO KNOW Sky Spy is for plane spotting and curiosity, not navigation or flight safety. Coverage depends on the receivers near you, and some military, private and low-flying aircraft don't broadcast or aren't received. Look up. Scan. Know what's flying above you.
