Hear what’s flying over you.

Skylark tells you what’s approaching and where to look. You don’t have to keep watching the screen.

Try an example, then choose your sky.

Choose a viewing point. Skylark will show where to look and which aircraft may be approaching.

Location is optional. We send an approximate area for live aircraft data. Your saved view and sightings stay on this device.

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

Your viewing point and window

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.
