What plane is flying over me right now?

Open the tracker and allow location access. AeroGaze finds the nearest aircraft currently transmitting an ADS-B signal and shows its flight number, airline, route, aircraft type, altitude, speed and heading in real time.

How accurate is the data?

Positions come straight from aircraft transponders and are typically only a few seconds old. Coverage depends on nearby ground receivers, so remote areas and very low-altitude aircraft may occasionally be missed.

Does AeroGaze track military aircraft?

Only aircraft that broadcast a public ADS-B signal appear. Many military and sensitive flights either don't transmit or are filtered from public feeds, so they generally won't show up.

Which plane is flying over my house?

Open the AeroGaze tracker and grant location access. The app uses your device's GPS to find your coordinates and instantly shows the nearest aircraft transmitting an ADS-B signal above you — including its flight number, airline, route, altitude and speed.

What information does AeroGaze show?

For each aircraft overhead, AeroGaze shows the flight number, airline name and logo, origin and destination airports, aircraft type (e.g. Boeing 737-800), current altitude, ground speed, and heading. All data updates every 30 seconds from live ADS-B feeds.

Does AeroGaze work on my phone?

Yes — AeroGaze is a web app that works in any modern mobile browser, no download required. Just open aerogaze.com, tap the tracker, and allow location access.

Can I track a specific flight number?

AeroGaze shows the nearest aircraft to your location rather than letting you search by flight number. If the flight you're curious about is overhead, it will appear automatically. For tracking a specific flight across its full route, a dedicated flight-tracking service is a better fit.

Do I need an account?

No. AeroGaze is completely free and requires no sign-up, login or subscription. Just open the tracker and go.

Where does the flight data come from?

Live positions come from the airplanes.live ADS-B network, and route and airline details are enriched from open aviation databases. No proprietary or paid feed is required.

Is my location stored?

No. Your coordinates are used momentarily to find the nearest aircraft and are never saved to our servers or shared. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Each processor operates under their own privacy policy and data processing agreements.

6. Location Data

Your device location is requested only when you open the tracker and is used solely to query nearby aircraft. Location data is transmitted to our API server for each query and is not stored in our database or logs.

7. International Data Transfers

Some of our third-party service providers (including Google, for advertising and analytics) may process your data outside the United Kingdom. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA). Google's data processing terms include these safeguards. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

8. Data Retention

We do not maintain user accounts, so we retain no personal profile data. Server logs are kept only for a short period for security and debugging. Location data is never stored.

These cookies are cleared when you clear cookies for this site. If we introduce our own first-party cookies in future, this section will be updated accordingly.
