Example gallery

Visualize aircraft trajectory data, common and more unusual patterns, interactions between aircraft and air traffic control, wind, turbulence, Earth’s magnetic field, and more to come.

Aircraft trajectory patterns

Flying is not only about commercial aviation, many aircraft fly for different reasons: commercial aviation (passenger and freight) is only one of its kind.

Calibration flights Calibration flights with SAVAN trajectories Tour de France 2020 Zero gravity flights

Air traffic control

Visualize activities of air traffic controllers operating our skies and airports

Is this a plane? Landing configuration Landing sequence In-flight emergencies

Air traffic density

Measure and visualize how many aircraft fly in the sky

Heatmaps Impact of COVID-19 on worldwide aviation Flying to Kaliningrad during the Russian flight ban

Planet Earth

How our planet impacts aircraft trajectories in unexpected ways

Geomagnetic declination A Mode S based windfield Sun elevation

Third-party examples

Users in the community have been publishing some very appealing use cases on third-party websites. Here is an attempt to list some of them [1]:

  • Thunderbolts and lightning, very very enlightening

  • Flight Information Regions
