How to give a FlightAbove for an occasion

    Pick the occasion

    Father's Day, a birthday, a flying milestone, Christmas, or a partner who already looks up.

  2. 02

    Choose the display

    Altitude for the 5 inch centrepiece with sound. Horizon for the 7 inch widescreen. Mini when the desk is tight. Connect, a Raspberry Pi 4, when they already have a screen.

  3. 03

    Order early

    Allow 5 to 7 business days before dispatch, then courier transit. Tick gift at checkout so the invoice stays out of the box.

The gift that keeps going

Live data means it does not go stale. Years later it is still on the desk in the morning. Safer than guessing a headset model or a logbook edition.

From a buyer

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 🙂.

Before you decide

Questions about aviation gifts for every occasion

How early should I order an aviation gift?

Every unit is produced to order in the United Kingdom. Allow 5 to 7 business days before dispatch, then courier transit. For Father's Day, birthdays and Christmas, order earlier than you think.

What is a good Father's Day gift for a pilot?

A live aircraft display for the desk. Father's Day is in June in the UK and the US. Order at least two to three weeks ahead so production and courier transit are finished before the Sunday.

What aviation gift works for a birthday?

FlightAbove suits a student pilot, a sim desk, a retired captain, or anyone who watches aircraft instead of another screen. Live data means it is still in use years later, and it is safer than guessing a headset or a logbook edition.

What should I give for a flying milestone?

First solo, a new rating, a thousand hours, or retirement from the line. A live display sits on the desk as a daily reminder of the thing they love. Add a note at checkout and flag it as a gift.

When should I order a Christmas aviation gift?

Order in November. Production is 5 to 7 business days, then courier transit. Leaving it until December can miss the 25th. The Christmas guide covers why it still matters in January.

Can I hide the invoice?

Yes. Tick the gift option at checkout and leave a note. We can keep invoices out of the box for a surprise.

Which FlightAbove should I wrap?

Altitude if you want the 5 inch centrepiece with sound. Horizon for the 7 inch widescreen. Mini if desk space is tight. Connect, a Raspberry Pi 4, if they already have a TV or monitor.

Will they have to set it up?

Yes, and it is short. Plug in, join Wi-Fi, and set a location from the screen or the web dashboard. Mini, Horizon and Altitude can be set on the glass. Connect uses the dashboard.

Is there a subscription on the hardware?

No. Mini, Horizon, Altitude and Connect are one-time purchases. Live data and updates are included.

What if they do not like it?

14-day returns on hardware. Easy to send back or swap if the size or model is not right.
