Aircraft Identification

Aircraft ID is an iOS application for iPhones, iPod Touches, intended to aid identification of aircraft. It will also run on iPads or iPad Minis. Aircraft ID has three main features.

Aircraft ID's unique filtering system helps you quickly and accurately identify over 300 civil aircraft. You can also record where and when you've seen a plane and learn more about them.

IDENTIFY ANY CIVIL AIRCRAFT

Ever wondered what that aircraft was at your local airfield?Aircraft ID helps you successfully identify any civil aircraft, based on a range of 19 features such as tail shape, wingspan or engine position. Quick and easy to use, Aircraft ID progressively filters out aircraft with each feature selected, until you are left with just one option. A positive identification is possible even from a limited set of features, so you don't necessarily have to have a perfect view of the aircraft!

LEARN ABOUT AIRCRAFT

Aircraft ID uses our extensive database of 325 civil aircraft. You can browse photos, history and a description for each one, plus a list of their identifying features. The in-app Help includes a detailed description and picture showing every attribute of every feature.

RECORD YOUR SIGHTINGS

Its easy to keep a record of the aircraft you've spotted using Aircraft ID. You can keep track of where and when you've seen an aircraft, and what their registration mark is. You can also add notes and your own photograph.

2. The application also acts as a sightings data base, allowing the user to record their own sighting information, and automatically attaching a location and address. It is also possible to attach a photograph, notes, and a registration code to each sighting.

3. The included Help screen provides details explaining each attribute of each feature with pictures that the user can select to filter the list of available aircraft.
