How to spot the plane in the sky
For each aircraft we show the direction (e.g. NE – north-east) and the elevation angle above the horizon. 90° is directly overhead; 10–20° is low on the horizon. A clenched fist at arm’s length covers about 10° of sky.
- Contrails usually form above 8 km – look for aircraft at cruising altitude (red and purple on the map).
- Sound lags behind. From 10 km up it takes about 30 seconds to reach you, so you hear the plane where it was a moment ago.
- Outside Poland the data refreshes roughly once a minute, so the list may lag slightly there.
- Plane missing? It may be a helicopter, a military aircraft or one without ADS-B. Read more in our guide.
