When something flies over you, we match it against 166,700 indexed airframes and 627,854 callsigns, so your log shows registration, route, and operator without you typing anything.
From the anonymous community feed (opt-in trackers, no exact locations shown).
Active plans build a personal logbook of flights over your location, automatically, around the clock.
Drop a pin on the map in My Account. That's the centre of your 5-mile tracking zone.
Every aircraft within range is recorded to your account: registration, route, and timestamp, without you doing anything.
Runs 24/7Your dashboard, stats, and export fill in on their own. How far back depends on your plan (30–365 days).
Generic trackers show where any aircraft is flying worldwide. Aviation DB builds your overhead log: only flights near you, tied to your account.
Two paid tools: a 5-mile overhead log that fills itself in, and a separate Aircraft tracker to follow registrations worldwide (1 to 4 at once by tier). Search, maps, and operators stay free for everyone.
Your dashboard shows a live, auto-refreshing table of every aircraft currently within 5 miles of your location, and logs each pass to your personal history automatically.
| Callsign | Route | Alt |
|---|---|---|
| BAW117 G-STBC | EGLL✈KJFK | 35,000 ft |
| RYR8BT EI-DYA | EGSS✈LEPA | 9,100 ft |
| EZY62L G-EZOP | EGKK✈LEBL | 14,000 ft |
Every aircraft and callsign that passes within your tracked area is saved to your account, with no typing and no spreadsheets. KPI cards, trend charts, and searchable tables show exactly what's flown over you during your plan's history window.
A dark, full-screen map that cycles through the closest aircraft near your location, built for a wall display or glancing at what's passing right now, with your personal sighting counts on every card.
Pick tail numbers to follow worldwide. Each flight is logged with ADS-B track points, live map view, and history you keep until you delete it. This is separate from your overhead Sightings log and does not use your home location.
Search by registration, serial, type, operator, or callsign. Free for everyone. Active accounts see personal sighting counts and overhead history layered on top of each result.
