3D globe
Use the map’s 3D view to explore live traffic within its displayed query area. Worldwide geography does not mean worldwide aircraft coverage in one request.
CHANGE YOUR PERSPECTIVE
Explore aircraft in 3D.
Follow observed aircraft on the globe, revisit an available recording or step into a Flight Deck visualization.
Four ways to explore
Recorded 3D playback
Find an aircraft, open available recent history and choose a recorded flight. Playback follows the available track; gaps and missing recordings remain possible.
Flight Deck
Open a cockpit-style perspective for eligible live or recorded flights. The instruments visualize tracking data. This is not cockpit video or a certified instrument panel.
Sky View
On a supported phone, allow location and camera access to explore nearby aircraft through your screen. Sensor accuracy, browser support and tracking coverage affect alignment.
Free and Premium access
Free includes the live 2D map, available 2D flight history, 25 saved aircraft, 4 saved airports and two FAA overlays. Try 3 live or recorded 3D views and 3 Flight Deck sessions per browser without creating an account. Unlimited use and Sky View are included with a verified, paid CAT Premium account.
Premium includes these 3D views wherever the required data is available. A subscription cannot create a missing recording or improve receiver coverage. See plans and availability.
Understand the visualization
Motion, attitude and models are reconstructed or estimated from observations. An animated aircraft does not represent a continuously measured position. Do not use any view for navigation, collision avoidance or other safety decisions.
