About us

Built by Plane Spotters, for Plane Spotters.

SpottingLog is the modern Plane Spotting Database and log book trusted by aviation enthusiasts around the world. Here's the story of how it came to be.

Our story

From a paper notebook to a global Plane Spotting Database.

SpottingLog started life as a frustration: a stack of paper log books, a clutter of spreadsheets and no easy way to search any of it. As Plane Spotters ourselves, we knew there had to be a better way to record sightings, plan trips and look up aircraft on the move.

So we built it. Today, SpottingLog is used by Plane Spotters all over the world to maintain their personal aircraft log book, with a verified Plane Spotting Database of over 600,000 aircraft records growing every day.

We're proudly independent, fully self-funded by our subscribers, and 100% focused on building the best Plane Spotters log book on the planet.

From paper notebooks to one organised digital log.
