AeroPattern Pro vs OverheadView

See who is really behind a private jet. Search any tail number and AeroPattern names the company or person who flies it — not just the bank trustee or LLC on the FAA registration — then shows where it has been, where it filed to go, and what is happening at the airports around it right now. AeroPattern joins FAA filed flight plans, live ADS-B, the full FAA aircraft registry, operator certificates and National Weather Service data into one picture, on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, CarPlay and the web. — WHO'S FLYING — • The named owner behind a private jet wherever it has been identified, with the registry entity shown underneath. • 300,000+ aircraft records: type, year, engines, registration and home base. • Filed flights, routes and full movement history for every tail. • Operators across Parts 91, 121, 125 and 135 — private, charter and fractional fleets — and the flight departments of Fortune 500 companies. — AIRPORTS — • Departure and arrival boards built from filed flight plans and aircraft seen in the air, so you see flights before they take off, including the business aviation traffic that never appears on an airline schedule. • Live ATC ground stops, ground delay programs and expected departure times. • METARs and TAFs with a decoder that explains every field in plain English. • Leaderboards of the busiest airports, routes, operators and aircraft. — LIVE AIRSPACE — • Real-time traffic around you, coloured by altitude and turned to each aircraft's heading. • Tap any aircraft for altitude, speed, route and registration. • Filter by category, operator and altitude. — AIRLINES — • Fleets, routes, on-time performance and cancellations by cause: the airline, weather or air traffic control. • Average fares by route from the government's ticket survey, with an alert when a watched route gets cheaper. • Fuel, safety and workforce figures, each with its source. — ON YOUR WRIST, IN YOUR CAR AND BY VOICE — • Apple Watch: live radar of the traffic around you and boards for your home airports. • CarPlay, Lock Screen and Dynamic Island: when an aircraft you follow files a plan, it tracks itself to landing. • Siri: ask what's overhead, check your airport, or look up a tail number. • Home Screen widget and an iPad desk view: ground stops first, then your airports and aircraft side by side. — SPACEPATTERN — Flip AIR / SPACE and the same app follows orbit: a weekly launch board, reusable-booster histories, launch pads, and satellite passes overhead, with naked-eye passes first. — BUILT FOR — • Jet watchers and spotters: whose jet just landed, and which airports are busiest. • Pilots, dispatchers and airline ops: filed routes, ground stops and EDCTs beside live boards. • Brokers, FBOs and family offices: the operator behind a tail and who is flying into your field. — SUBSCRIPTION — Browsing is free.

Center the map on your location and watch nearby aircraft move across an interactive map, sourced from community ADS-B data. Tap any aircraft to see its callsign, altitude, speed, heading, and route when available. KEY FEATURES • Live aircraft radar — track nearby planes and helicopters in real time on an interactive map centered on your location. • Centered on you — the radar follows your location to surface the aircraft closest to you, wherever you are. • Flight details — tap any aircraft for its callsign, altitude, speed, heading, and route. • Flight search and follow — look up a specific flight and follow it with a predicted path. • Drone Remote ID — detect nearby drones broadcasting ASTM F3411 / OpenDroneID over Bluetooth, processed on your device (experimental). • Interactive map — pan and zoom a smooth, native Apple Map. • Privacy-minded — no account, no login. We do not collect names or emails to identify you, and we never sell your data. Whether you are a plane spotter, an aviation enthusiast, or simply curious about that aircraft you just heard overhead, OverheadView gives you a clear, up-to-date picture of nearby air traffic. Aircraft data is sourced from community ADS-B networks and may not reflect all air traffic.
