Aircraft on an airport runway

Built around your spotting routine

Everything you need, ready when you need it.

Choose the airports and matching mode that suit you. AirportScope keeps your aircraft data synchronised, prepares your personalised needs report, and gives you the choice of email, live map or printable checklist when you’re out spotting.

Two ways to collect

Registration mode

Track individual aircraft by their registration, such as G-ABCD. A precise choice when the registration itself is what you collect.

  • Track aircraft by registration
  • Precise matching
  • Simple setup

Frames mode

Track the physical airframe even when its registration changes, so a familiar aircraft is not treated as a new requirement.

  • Match by airframe identity
  • Track through registration changes
  • Advanced collecting

Less time checking lists

No more manually searching movement lists. AirportScope does the comparison for you automatically.

Personalised to you

Only see aircraft that match your own spotting history, selected airports and preferred matching mode.

Always up to date

Your aircraft data stays synchronised so your reports reflect your latest records without repeated manual uploads.

Use it your way

Know when a needed aircraft is nearby

Set a location and choose a proximity alert range of 10, 25 or 50 nautical miles. AirportScope can notify you when a needed aircraft is detected within that range, subject to available position data and your notification settings.
