The map opens on you—precise when you allow location, otherwise a good guess from your region. It shows airborne planes and helicopters the public ADS-B network is reporting nearby. Pan and zoom anywhere: the search area follows what is on screen, only visible aircraft are drawn, and positions refresh every two seconds. No sounds, no extra controls—just the live sky.

Black plane icon
Regular fixed-wing traffic—commercial, business, cargo, or general aviation. The icon rotates to match the aircraft’s heading.
Red plane (possible service)
When fixed-wing traffic looks like police, medevac, SAR, border, customs, or military-style flight—based on callsign, registration, feed flags, or similar hints—the plane icon turns red. A strong hint, not a guarantee.
Black helicopter (civilian)
Routine rotor traffic uses the black top-down helicopter artwork—the same PNG you see on the map. Expect slower speeds and shorter local hops than jets.
Red helicopter (possible service)
When a helicopter matches the same service-style rules—police, medevac, SAR, border, or military hints from callsign, registration, or feed data—it uses the red top-down helicopter art.
