About FlightAbove. The sky, left on the desk.

About FlightAbove starts with a simple habit. A plane goes over, the phone comes out, and the moment has already gone. This is a display you leave on, so the name is there when you look up.

FlightAbove is built with love by fellow AvGeeks. Read what an AvGeek is if the word is new. We made it to feed our own geekiness, then decided it was too good not to share. Mini, Horizon and Altitude sit on the desk. Connect plugs into a screen you already own. Cloud is the same software in a browser. Hardware is paid once.

The idea

Built with love, by fellow AvGeeks.

We made FlightAbove to fulfil our own geekiness. A plane goes over, the phone comes out, and the moment has already gone. Once it worked on our own desks, we decided it was too good not to share. The display stays on, filtered to the view outside the window.

Before you decide

Questions about FlightAbove

What is FlightAbove?

A live aircraft display for the home. It names the plane you can hear: the flight, the tail, the airline, the type, a photo, the route, how high and how fast. A clock and the weather when the sky is quiet. A departure-board look if you want it. Mini, Horizon, Altitude and Connect are the hardware. Cloud is the same software in a browser.

Where is FlightAbove made?

Produced in the United Kingdom. Each hardware unit is assembled and tested before it ships. Mini, Altitude and Connect cases are 3D printed in PLA+ or PETG, so fine layer lines are part of the finish. Horizon includes its desk display. Allow 5 to 7 business days before dispatch, then courier transit.

Is there a monthly fee?

Not on the hardware. Mini, Horizon, Altitude and Connect are one-time purchases, with live updates included. Cloud is the optional browser page if you already have a screen, from £3.99/month.

How is this different from a flight tracking website?

Those sites are maps you open on a phone. FlightAbove is a screen you leave on. It keeps the aircraft around your home, laid out so you can read them from across the room.

What is ADS-B?

It is the name for a plane reporting its own position. FlightAbove uses that live picture. The plain explanation is on How aircraft tracking works.

Can I use it without buying a display?

Yes. Cloud is a web page that is yours, from £3.99/month. Open it on a laptop, tablet or TV you already own. Nothing to install.

How do I change what it shows?

In the FlightAbove dashboard, in any browser. Set where you are, the look, and which aircraft to show. Mini, Horizon and Altitude can also be set from the screen. Connect uses the dashboard.

How long until a hardware order arrives?

Produced in the United Kingdom. Allow 5 to 7 business days before dispatch, then courier transit. We email you as it moves.

Who is it for?

Spotters, pilots, people under a flight path, anyone buying a gift, and anyone who looks up when a plane goes over.

Who runs FlightAbove?

FlightAbove is built with love by fellow AvGeeks. We made the display to fulfil our own geekiness, then decided it was too good not to share. LLS Creations Ltd trades as FlightAbove. Company 17491307, registered in England and Wales. Registered office: 66 Paul Street, London, England, EC2A 4NA, United Kingdom.
