Glass compass
See how sun, active runway heading, and perch bearing line up on a single aviation-chart compass before you leave for the mound.
Aviation photo planner
Plan the light before you pack the lens. Align runway flow, sun angle, and spotting perches into one readiness score.
Built for plane spotters who care about side light, active runway ends, and the mound with the cleanest background.
Every tab answers a question you ask while packing: which runway is active, where the sun sits, and which perch still has a clean background.
See how sun, active runway heading, and perch bearing line up on a single aviation-chart compass before you leave for the mound.
Scan side light, golden hour, backlight risk, and high-sun windows with per-hour scores tuned to your selected airframe.
Compare spotting locations with access notes, lens hints, look heading, and distance so you pick the mound with the best angle.
Set wind direction and watch landing and takeoff pairs activate across real runway data for ten major airports worldwide.
Bookmark planned windows for a field, runway, and airframe, then share a readable briefing when your crew asks what time to meet.
Read field manners, shutter hints for common airframes, and photography notes without digging through scattered forum threads.
Five tabs cover airports, runway flow, the Glass planner, perch rankings, and field almanac notes.
