[Other Sport] Aeroplane App

[mune ni kamome]

Just sitting on the balcony here in Worthing watching the occasional plane passing over. Can someone recommend a good app to tell me their destinations.

If you want to see all military aircraft as well then FREEDAR.UK is the one to use.
Not as smooth as Flight radar 24 but then that dont show the majority of military.

The app is available in the App store

Also try plane finder from the app store

On FreedarUK
Military are shown Green
Air Ambulances RED
Biz Jets Black.
Commercial White.
Same as the other apps aircraft sizes ( defined by wake turbulence ie Heavy/medium.) are depicted by the shapes...as are gliders.

You could also try FlightBoard, it’s a little nit fancier that flightradar

I used to have a Bonnie Tyler Sat Nav but it kept telling me to turn around and every now and then it fell apart

Click on the more info button at the bottom, then scroll down to the first info block and there you can see what routes the aircraft has flown ( free ) for the last 7 days.
You will be amazed to see how many sectors Ryan air/ Easy jet do.....then look at the distances large aircraft fly in 7 days.

You would never guess i'm a spotter..

I’ve tried Flightradar 24 but don’t find it anything like as good as Planefinder.
Jerry who runs Bigjet TV also uses Planefinder.

I'll wager you'll need it tonight more than ever.

Does it need to be in Wales to work properly?

To be fair, that's far more info than just about anybody needs. And seeing as how it supposedly includes military aircraft it will be heavily censored and monitored.

More importantly, does it include TRUCKS on the ground at LGW like Flightradar24 does?

It’s not censored or monitored if military aircraft don’t want to be seen they have their ways and means it’s just showing ADS B in peacetime civil authorities ie ATC need to know where military aircraft are and visa versa, it’s just Flightradar24 chooses not to show military, having said that all large military ie A300,C17 A400m etc use civil airplanes and so can normally be seen on Flightradar24.

As for airport vehicles they are also equipped with ADS B so are visible on all ATC screens.

If you look closely sometimes you might see a UFO ( weather balloon)

Thanks for this. I was always using adsbexchange, this looks a lot better.

Flightradar24 is the best one for geeking out on. It's well worth getting for aviation enthusiasts/pros.

Has anyone seen Flight Simulator coming out in a couple of weeks? Looks insane.
