Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the UK Aircraft board?

UK Aircraft is a geographic map focused on British airspace and categories (emergency, military, etc.). The Flights board rotates through specific flights or shows everything overhead in a configurable radius — better for following individual aircraft.

Can I track a friend’s flight?

Yes — put the flight identifier on the watchlist. Up to 6 watched flights rotate at the cadence you set.

Does it support imperial units?

Yes. Imperial vs metric is a toggle in settings.
