Connect the provider you choose.
The app supports aircraft data through your own flight-provider access, including AeroDataBox and FlightRadar24 integrations. Enter the supported keys in the app and review the provider’s coverage and plan. Your account gives you a direct relationship with the data service; usage limits, availability and any provider charges follow that service.
Connect the provider you choose.

Compose around a predicted path.
Review aircraft information in relation to the sky and the camera view. Leave space for a light trail to cross the composition rather than placing the subject only where it appears now. Predicted paths help with planning, but aircraft movement can change. Check the real view and keep the capture ready instead of treating a prediction as a guaranteed pass.

03 · Air Traffic Watch
Match the trail to the flight.
Use a stable mount, set exposure for bright moving lights and choose the blending history for the length of path you want to retain. Comet or rolling trails can make separate passes easier to read. The website’s Departure Watch is a related field tool for airport planning; the app’s Air Traffic Watch uses the provider connections you configure.
