Description
Flight Tracker Pro is Flightwise.com's iPhone utility for tracking Commercial or General Aviation flights anywhere within United States airspace (Only flights in US and Canadian airspace, including Alaska, Hawaii, parts of the Caribbean, and other US territories are supported at this time).
This application is not geared towards the typical flying traveller, and does not provide gate information, seating coordination, or any other related services. It is strictly for tracking an aircraft's location and expected arrival time. Use of this application is geared towards professional-grade aviation-industry flight tracking, or for aircraft tracking enthusiasts.
Users can enter an aircraft tail number or an FAA flight ID, and a tracking map of the aircraft and its current position appears. A small and manageable list of airlines is included for quick search, but you can track any airline if you know it's 3 letter ICAO airline ID (ie, AAL1410 or SWA2120). If you'd like an airline added to the quick-list, use the "Send Feedback or Feature Request" button from the Settings menu and tell us about the airline you'd like to see added; if enough people ask, we'll consider it for inclusion in the quick-list.
The map is scrollable with the finger, and pinch to zoom functionality is also provided. To find flights out of a specific airport, users can enter a valid 3 or 4 letter FAA airport identifier, and a listing of arrivals and departures in and out of that particular airport will appear. Users can select individual flights to track from the listing. View past flight history, N-Number registration details, photo images of aircraft, and other specifics.
Users can also display a list of flights located within a specified radius of their current location, and keep a history list of recently-tracked flights for quick access.
Also included in this version, users can take photos of flights or aircraft and upload them to the main Flightwise website, sharing them with the rest of the world. Great for spotters and enthusiasts.
Now, in the current version, users can track and map multiple flights simultaneously.

Customer Reviews
Lite is better
Well it dosent work that well the app keep crashing on me.
Very nice
This is a great application and a great improvement over the lite version. As a pilot it is useful to track my aircraft and other friends-and is very quick to do so. No pilot should be without it.
A couple things :
1) It will not accept my account email and password for some reason-works fine on the web but won't work on the iphone
2) It would be nice to be able to "edit" your recents e.g. remove some while keeping others
3) It would be useful to be able to "store" favorites
4) There is a bug-if you refresh the first page (where it says "landed" -departure/arrival )-sometimes the text "loaded" will appear directly over the word ""landed"
Chief Pilot
Works great just as advertised. Worth the price. I had no problems with the program.
