Display faces

Six distinct looks.

From elegant analogue to radar-style live aircraft views. Each face has its own themes and options. Swap between them at any time from your dashboard.

Analogue

Classic hands with four live data bays at the cardinal positions. Timeless, glanceable.

Digital

Bold numerals with a slot above and below. Clean and readable at any size or distance.

Word

Time written in plain English. A conversation piece for any desk or shelf.

Minimal

Thin markers, clean hands, no numerals. Elegant simplicity that steps back and lets the room breathe.

Radar

A live radar sweep showing aircraft positions around your location. Always moving.

Countdown

Full-screen countdown to any event. Launches, race days, holidays, or personal milestones.

Filters & detection controls

Your skies, your rules.

Choose exactly which aircraft trigger your display. Filter by type, set an altitude threshold, pick your preferred units, and control how often the same flight can reappear.

Aircraft Types

Toggle on or off from your dashboard

Commercial Airlines & scheduled services
Private GA, business jets & light aircraft
Military Air Force, Navy & MoD traffic
Helicopter Rotorcraft of all kinds

Each type is an independent toggle. Disable Military if you only care about commercial routes, or go Helicopter-only during an air show.

Altitude Filter

Set a threshold and detect above or below it

Ground Threshold: 4,000 ft 60,000 ft
  • Slider from 0 to 60,000 ft — drag to your preferred ceiling or floor
  • Above mode: only detect aircraft flying higher than the threshold
  • Below mode: ideal for low-level traffic near smaller airfields
  • Disable the filter entirely to see all altitudes at once

Cooldown Period

How long before the same aircraft can reappear

If the same flight passes overhead repeatedly — a holding pattern, a local circuit, or a regular route — the cooldown stops it triggering the display every single time. Set it anywhere from disabled up to 24 hours.

0 min30 min (default)24 hrs

The same aircraft won't trigger the display again for 30 minutes after it last appeared.

Scheduling

Active Hours.

Set a daily window for flight detection. Outside those hours, FlightAbove automatically becomes a standard desk display showing your configured bays, with no aircraft alerts.

Useful if you want quiet nights without detection notifications, or if you only want flight tracking during working hours.

During Active Hours

Live flight detection is on. Aircraft data updates in real time as planes pass overhead.

Outside Active Hours

FlightAbove becomes a traditional desk display showing only the time and your data bays.

Active Hours
