✈️ Aircraft Spotter
Track aircraft near you in real-time using the OpenSky Network. Your position is used to calculate distances to nearby flights.
📍 Your Position
The app uses your browser's geolocation to find your position automatically. You can also set a default position in Settings.
🗺️ The Map
The map shows your position (blue dot) and a dashed circle showing your search radius. Pan and zoom to explore freely.
🔔 Watchlist
Add aircraft patterns (like "C17" for military transports) or specific callsigns to your watchlist. You'll get notifications when matching aircraft fly nearby!
📡 Notifications
Browser notifications alert you when watchlisted aircraft enter your range. The website must remain open - notifications only work while the page is active in your browser tab.
⚙️ Settings
Adjust search radius (10-200 km), set default coordinates, and customize when notifications are enabled.
