WHAT PLANE IS FLYING OVER PORT-AU-PRINCE?
Wondering what plane is that, overhead right now? Every aircraft over Port-au-Prince 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.
Port-au-Prince sits practically under the circuit at Toussaint Louverture International Airport — expect aircraft low, close and slowing down, with the interesting part of the flight happening right overhead. A city of 1.2 million keeps its sky busy from first departures to the late freight.
Most traffic over Port-au-Prince is working the nearby airports: Toussaint Louverture International Airport (MTPP), 3 NM away; Jacmel Airport (MTJA), 21 NM away; Cabo Rojo Airport (MDCR), 54 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.
