WHAT PLANE IS FLYING OVER FUENCARRAL-EL PARDO?

Wondering what plane is that, overhead right now? Every aircraft over Fuencarral-El Pardo broadcasting ADS-B appears on the scope above at its true position — airliners, freighters, helicopters, trainers, and the occasional mystery pigeon with no flight plan on file.

Fuencarral-El Pardo sits practically under the circuit at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport — expect aircraft low, close and slowing down, with the interesting part of the flight happening right overhead.

Most traffic over Fuencarral-El Pardo is working the nearby airports: Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (LEMD), 7 NM away; Madrid-Cuatro Vientos Airport (LECU), 8 NM away; Getafe Air Base (LEGT), 12 NM away. Arrivals and departures from these fields cross the area daily, along with overflights riding the airways above.

The scope names what deserves naming: military movements, air ambulances, coastguard and rescue aircraft, warbirds, AWACS and tankers, and the occasional whale-shaped oddball all wear their own badges. Search any town or postcode on the main scope to centre the radar on your own location, or pop it out full-screen for a second monitor.
