Your questions answered

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you order — no clicking through to find answers.

The display

What is FlightAbove?

A dedicated desk display showing live aircraft overhead in real time — not an app or screensaver. Always-on hardware built for aviation enthusiasts.

How does it work?

Connects to your WiFi and pulls live ADS-B data from aircraft transponders. Shows flights for your location, direction, and radius. Setup takes about 30 seconds.

What's the difference between 4" and 5"?

Same software and features — only screen size differs. The 5″ Altitude is a bolder centrepiece; the 4″ Mini suits smaller desks and gifts.

Is there a subscription?

No subscription on hardware, ever. One-time purchase with OTA updates and live data included. Only FlightAbove Cloud is subscription-based, for your own screen.

Setup & coverage

How difficult is setup?

Plug in, connect WiFi from your phone, and it starts tracking. No coding or technical knowledge — most people are running in under a minute.

Where does FlightAbove work?

ADS-B coverage is strong across North America, Europe, Australia, and most major cities worldwide. Track aircraft up to 250 km away with no extra receiver.

What WiFi does it need?

A 2.4 GHz network. Does not support 5 GHz-only or WPA3-only routers. Nearly all home and office networks work fine.

Ordering

What warranty is included?

1-year warranty on manufacturing defects, plus 14-day returns if you are not completely satisfied.

Yes — UK, US, Europe, Canada, Australia, and many other countries. Shipping is calculated at checkout.
