Automatic
No tapping, no extra login on the screen. Every detected aircraft is recorded the moment the display spots it.
Built-in logbook
FlightLog. Aircraft spotting statistics.
FlightLog is the built-in aircraft log for every FlightAbove. It records each aircraft a display detects, automatically, from the moment the device is switched on.
The display names what is overhead. FlightLog keeps the ones you missed while cooking, working, or asleep. Same software on Mini, Horizon, Altitude, Connect and Cloud.
The log writing itself
- G-VDOT A350-1000 · LHR → JFK
- G-TTNA A320neo · LHR → BCN
- G-EUPJ A319 · LHR → JFK
Example entries. A real log uses your own detections.

The log that writes itself
You looked up. FlightLog already wrote it down.
Open it in the FlightAbove web app. Totals, achievements, cards, charts, and an optional community feed if you want to share. It also makes a grounded gift for someone who already looks up. See the gift page.
Permanent
The log grows continuously. Owners can browse back to any past month and see what flew over.
Multi-device
More than one FlightAbove feeds a single combined log, with a per-device breakdown underneath.
A full aviation record per display.
Whenever a FlightAbove picks up an aircraft overhead, it adds an entry to that display's FlightLog. The figures below are an example of the period view, not a live account.

Flight log
Every aircraft, one card at a time.
Each registration appears on its own card. Sort by most frequent, most recent, or rarest, then page through the list. Rarity, counts for the selected period and all time, first seen date, and route tags follow the time range. These two cards are an example.

Scroll or pinch to zoom. Drag to orbit.
Route arcs use real airport coordinates. With a signed-in account, the same panels use the period you choose.
Browse any past month.
The default view uses a rolling period. Owners can also jump to any month. Stats, lists and breakdowns recalculate for that window. History reaches back to when each device was first linked to an account.

Multiple devices, one log.
One in the office and one at home, for example, both feed a combined FlightLog. A per-device breakdown sits under the aggregate so you can compare them. Example counts:
- Kitchen display Online 342
- Living room device Online 218

Before you decide
Straight answers
What is FlightLog?
The built-in aircraft log for every FlightAbove. Each time a display detects an aircraft overhead, it adds an entry automatically. Over time that becomes a searchable history of traffic above that location.
Do I have to log flights myself?
No. There is no tapping and no separate app. Every detected aircraft is recorded the moment the display spots it.
Where do I open FlightLog?
In the FlightAbove web app in any browser. Totals, achievements, cards, charts and the route globe all live there.
What can I filter by?
Time ranges from the last hour through today, yesterday, last 7 days, last 30 days, last year, or a custom date range. You can also jump to any past month.
What do the aircraft cards show?
Registration, airline, type, a profile photo when one is available, rarity, sighting counts for the selected period and all time, first logged date, and route tags.
What is Community FlightLogs?
An optional public feed. Opt in from your account. Only registration, type, route and timestamp are shared. No location, no device information, nothing personal. Off by default.
Does FlightLog work with more than one device?
Yes. If you have more than one FlightAbove, sightings feed a combined log, with a per-device breakdown underneath.
Is FlightLog included with hardware?
Yes. Mini, Horizon, Altitude and Connect are one-time purchases and include FlightLog. Cloud is the optional browser subscription, from £3.99/month, if you already have a screen.
