How to read this
Direction
The compass point is where to face from the middle of the place, and the degrees say how far to look up: 0° is the horizon, 90° is straight overhead.
Who counts
Aircraft whose transponders reach a volunteer receiver. Coverage is good over cities and thin in remote places. Military and government aircraft are listed when they broadcast; private aircraft whose owners opted out of public display (FAA LADD, PIA) are not.
What you can't see here
There is no schedule data, so there are no routes, gates or delays. Tap a row for that aircraft's live position, or open the map to follow it.
Live data can be late, incomplete or wrong. Not for navigation or safety decisions.
