This is a visual spotting guide, not an audibility measurement or a navigation instrument.

Set the part of the sky visible from your garden or window. Directions use true north. This does not measure buildings, trees or clouds.

Suggestions for you

Optional. Sends the interests below and a short list of aircraft with relative viewing information to TypeSafe. Never sends your viewing coordinates or full logbook. Local ranking works without it.

Predictions assume the current speed and heading continue for no more than three minutes. Turns can change them. Positions older than 45 seconds are excluded.
