Detail

4,893 recognition guides, each built around WEFT — wings, engine, fuselage, tail — so an aircraft can be identified from what is visible rather than from a transponder code. Works offline.

The short version

A recognition guide rather than a database. The organising idea is WEFT — wings, engine, fuselage, tail — which is how aircraft are actually identified in the field: by what is visible from the ground, not by a transponder code you may not have.

4,893 recognition guides. It works offline, which matters more than it sounds — the moment you need it tends to be the moment you are outdoors with no signal.

It is not a flight tracker. It will not tell you what that particular aircraft is doing; it tells you what it is.
