A tight desk, a shelf you can read from the sofa, the middle of the room, or a TV you already own.

Same sky. Five ways to keep it
Choose your display.
Compare Mini, Horizon, Altitude, Connect and Cloud.
Choose your display by where it will live. Every FlightAbove is a live aviation display, a clock, a weather station and a flight log. Mini is the 4 inch desk display. Horizon is the 7 inch widescreen. Altitude is the 5 inch centrepiece. Connect puts the same software on a TV you already own. Cloud runs it on kit you already manage.
Hardware is a one-time payment, produced in the United Kingdom. Cloud is monthly or yearly. Klarna and Clearpay are available at hardware checkout. Buying it for someone else is straightforward: pick the size, and they can change the face later.

Why FlightAbove
A live aviation display you can also use as a clock.
A typical flight board is a long, narrow LED matrix for callsigns. FlightAbove is a full-colour screen that also works as a clock, weather station, radar, LED Wall and flight log. You are choosing a display you will leave on.
FlightAbove
The whole picture, in colour
4 inch, 5 inch or 7 inch colour displays, or any HDMI screen with Connect. Aircraft photos, maps, clocks and weather on the same device, with FlightLog in the dashboard. Switch the mode when you want. The hardware stays.
Full-colour screens
Readable maps, aircraft photos and clock faces. Mini is 4 inch square. Horizon is 7 inch widescreen. Altitude is 5 inch circular. Connect uses the TV you already own.
Clock and weather included
When the sky is quiet it is still useful: time, date, temperature and conditions for your location.
Radar, LED Wall and flight detail
Several visual modes on the same screen. LED Wall is a mode on that screen.
FlightLog keeps what you missed
Overhead sightings are stored in your dashboard. Watch on the device, and look back later.
How it stacks up
FlightAbove, a flight board, and a tiny desk clock.
A short look at the three things people compare. Features on other products vary by brand and model. FlightAbove figures here are for Mini, Horizon, Altitude and Connect. Cloud is the subscription, on hardware you already run.
| FlightAbove | LED flight board | Small desk clock | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Display | 4, 5 or 7 inch colour, or your TV | LED dot matrix | Small screen, about 2 inch |
| Aircraft photos and maps | Yes | No | Limited |
| Live radar view | Yes | No | Limited |
| Clock and live weather | Yes | Basic | Yes |
| LED-board mode | Built in | Only mode | No |
| FlightLog of sightings | In your dashboard | No | Varies |
| Run on your own TV | Connect | No | No |
| Subscription | None on hardware | Varies | Varies |
| Aircraft detection | Live ADS-B | Varies | Varies |
| Where it is made | Produced in the UK | Varies | Varies |
What it shows
Clock, photo, radar and LED Wall on the same device.
These are Altitude. Mini and Horizon show the same kinds of face, and Horizon adds Horizon View. Faces, bays and filters are set from the screen or the web dashboard. See every face.
Clock and weather
Time, date and local conditions when the sky is quiet. It is still the object on the desk.
Flight information
Callsign, registration, route, speed, altitude and the airline. Readable from across the room.
Radar
A live map of traffic around your home, with the track of the aircraft you are watching.
LED Wall
The flight-board look, on a colour IPS screen. A mode on the same device.
Aircraft photo
A real picture of the type overhead, in full colour.

5 / 5
"This "FlightAbove Mini" is very good. Rather than have to look up a well known flight tracker app on my Mobile Phone every time, this sits beside my chair and is on 12 hours a day. I got stuck with the initial setup but Customer Service were excellent and understanding. They gave me all the help I needed. At 4 inches the screen is small making some text hard to read. There are multiple screen options though and with a bit of trial and error, I found one setup which suited my eyes. Do I regret buying this item? Definitely no!! I'm sure there will be updates to come which can only improve this excellent piece of kit for Aviation Geeks 🙂."

"I live under the Heathrow approach and for years I have been gazing up trying to identify aircraft. Now the answer is on my desk. I still look up, then I look down to check."

"Setup took about a minute. Plugged in, connected to WiFi, and it started showing planes. My husband spotted his old airline within a few minutes. Easy gift, no homework for me."

"Bought it for my dad. Build quality is solid and he had it running the same evening. He still texts photos of random airliners like I am meant to know what they are."

Before you decide
Choosing a display, answered
Is the software the same on every model?
Yes. Live ADS-B tracking, clock faces, weather, radar, LED Wall, data bays, FlightLog, filters and over-the-air updates are the same. Horizon View is exclusive to the 7 inch Horizon. What else changes is the hardware: the screen, the speaker, the finish, and whether you bring your own display.
I want a display for my desk. Which one?
Mini if space is tight: 4 inch square IPS, visual only. Horizon if you want the largest dedicated screen: 7 inch widescreen, with Horizon View. Altitude if you want the circular centrepiece: 5 inch IPS with sound alerts.
I want to use my own TV. Which one?
Connect. A Raspberry Pi 4 with FlightAbove already on it, for a monitor or TV you already own. The lowest one-time hardware price. The same live tracking as Mini, Horizon and Altitude.
Which one is the best gift?
Mini if you need it to sit quietly on a desk. Horizon if you want a 7 inch widescreen they can read from the sofa. Altitude if you want it to look and sound like a present. Connect if they already have a spare screen and you want to keep the price down.
How is this different from an LED flight board?
An LED board is a matrix of dots on a long, narrow panel. FlightAbove is a full-colour display, or your HDMI screen, that also works as a clock, weather station, radar and flight log. LED Wall is one of the modes.
Do hardware models have a subscription?
No. Mini, Horizon, Altitude and Connect are one-time purchases. Cloud is the only subscription, for people running FlightAbove on hardware they already manage.
How long until a hardware order ships?
Produced in the United Kingdom. Allow 5 to 7 business days before dispatch, then courier transit.
Are the cases injection moulded?
Mini, Altitude and Connect cases are 3D printed in PLA+ or PETG, produced in the United Kingdom. Fine layer lines are expected and are not a defect. Horizon includes its desk display. Cloud has no FlightAbove case.
