## What is Spotter Log?

Turn every plane you spot into a permanent, richly detailed logbook entry.

SpotterLog is the photo-first app for plane spotters and aviation enthusiasts. Point your camera at any aircraft and instantly identify it by registration and type. Log the sighting with photo, timestamp, and GPS — then dive deep into its full story: owner, history, and NTSB incidents (even across previous tail numbers).

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Snap & Identify — Photograph any aircraft for automatic tail/registration and type recognition.
• Build Your Logbook — Every sighting saved with photo, date, location, and rich aircraft details.
• Dig Into the Data — Access FAA and international registry info: manufacturer, model, year, and owner.
• Uncover History — Explore NTSB incident/accident records tied to the airframe.
• Ask the AI Assistant — Get instant answers on aircraft, accidents, or aviation topics.
• Explore the Encyclopedia — Read detailed pages on the aircraft you’ve captured.
• Map Your Spots — Visualize sightings on an interactive map.
• Level Up — Earn Spotter Levels as your collection grows. From Newbie to Legend.
• Your Hangar & Stats — Track rare catches, top manufacturers, and personal milestones.

WHY SPOTTERLOG
Flight trackers show you where a plane is going. SpotterLog tells you what a plane IS — and builds your personal aviation collection over time. Like a birding app for aircraft: visual, personal, and endlessly rewarding.

Whether you’re at the fence line, the gate, or chasing rare liveries at airshows like Oshkosh or the Chicago Air & Water Show, SpotterLog turns casual spotting into a lasting record.
