Description
Ever look up at a plane and wonder where it's going? Contrail tells you -- instantly. Open the app, and every aircraft in the sky appears on your map, moving in real time at 30 frames per second.
Contrail is the flight tracker built for curiosity. No account needed. No ads. No subscription required. Just a beautiful, fast map showing thousands of flights around the world -- powered by the global ADS-B community network.
LIVE MAP
See aircraft moving smoothly across a live map. Tap any plane to see its callsign, airline, route, altitude, speed, and aircraft type. Zoom in to see callsign labels appear. Zoom out to see continental traffic. Color-coded markers show you what every plane is doing at a glance: green for climbing, orange for descending, yellow for cruising, and white for ground.
FLIGHT DETAIL
Tap any aircraft for the full picture: airline and flight number, departure and arrival airports, aircraft type and registration, altitude, speed, heading, and vertical rate. See a real photo of the actual aircraft. Follow the flight track on the map with smooth animation.
MY FLIGHTS
Track flights you care about -- a friend's flight, your business trip, a pickup from the airport. Live position, ETA, gate, and weather at both airports. Pro users get push alerts on gate changes, delays, landings, and baggage.
MY PASSPORT -- FLIGHT LOGBOOK
Track every flight you take. Your flights are saved as a personal logbook -- your aviation passport. See stats on your travel history: total flights, distance, top airlines and airports. iCloud sync across devices.
AIRPORT BOARDS (FIDS)
Check departures and arrivals at any airport, just like the boards in the terminal. See scheduled times, actual times, gates, and status for every flight. Tap any flight on the board to see its full detail.
DISCOVER NOTABLE AIRCRAFT
Browse what's airborne now: military, government, celebrity jets, and historic warbirds. Live emergency squawks (7500/7600/7700) shown across the world.
FLEET FILTER
Want to see every plane from one airline? Use the fleet filter to highlight all aircraft from any operator on the map. Perfect for spotting your favorite airline.
