This image is a detailed screenshot from a flight tracking application, specifically FlightAware, displayed on a mobile device. The screenshot captures the real-time status and map location of a flight with the registration number N334FL, which is a Mooney M20P aircraft. The device’s status bar at the very top shows the current time as 15:27 (3:27 PM), with the location services icon (an arrow) indicating that GPS is active. The cellular signal strength is full, and the battery icon is nearly full and colored yellow, signifying that Low Power Mode is enabled. There is no Wi-Fi icon, suggesting the device is using mobile data.
Beneath the status bar, the app’s header displays a back arrow on the far left for navigation, followed by the aircraft registration “N334FL” in large white text, and the aircraft type “M20P” in smaller gray text below it. To the right of the registration are three icons: a bell for notifications, a share icon (a square with an upward arrow), and a three-dot menu for more options.
The main flight status section is labeled “En Route” in bold white text. The route is shown as “JST → --”, indicating the flight departed from Johnstown-Cambria County Airport (JST) but the destination is not specified. The aircraft’s current speed is listed as 143 mph, and its altitude is 1,800 feet, with an upward arrow indicating it is climbing. A horizontal dashed line with a small airplane icon visually represents the flight’s progress. Below this, three columns display the elapsed flight time as 16 minutes, while both the total duration and remaining time are not specified (shown as double dashes).
Further down, the flight details section provides the date as Sunday, May 25, 2025. The departure gate is not specified. The scheduled departure time is 15:11 EDT (Eastern Daylight Time), highlighted in bold white text. The departure airport is Johnstown-Cambria County Airport, located in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Arrival gate and time are not provided. There is a “More details” button in a dark blue box with a white border, suggesting additional information is available if pressed.
The lower half of the screen features a map in dark mode, powered by Apple Maps (logo in the lower left corner), with a FlightAware logo and a small white airplane icon also present. The map is centered on a region of western Pennsylvania, showing the flight’s path as a white line. This line begins at the JST marker, which is a dark blue square with white letters, representing Johnstown-Cambria County Airport. The flight path heads northwest, then makes a distinct loop near the town of New Florence, before continuing in a curved trajectory. The current position of the aircraft is marked with a blue circle containing a white “C,” indicating the plane’s live location on the map.
The map itself is rendered in dark colors, with green and blue tones representing land and water, and lighter green patches possibly indicating parks or forested areas. Towns and cities are labeled in white text, providing a clear sense of geography. Visible town names include Johnstown (prominently near JST), New Florence (close to the flight path loop), Blairsville (northwest of New Florence), New Alexandria (west of Blairsville), Ligonier (southwest of New Florence), Ebensburg (northeast of Johnstown), Nanty Glo (east of Ebensburg), Windber (southeast of Johnstown and JST), Boswell (south of Johnstown), Stoystown (southeast of Boswell), Central City (east of Stoystown), Shanksville (southeast of Central City), Somerset (south of Boswell), Seven Springs (southwest of Somerset), Donegal (southwest of Ligonier, labeled as “Legal Donegal”), Saltsburg (northwest of Blairsville), Avonmore (northwest of Saltsburg), Homer City (north of Blairsville), Portage (east of Nanty Glo), and Fairfield Township (southwest of New Alexandria). Major roads are also visible, including Route 422 (north of New Florence and Blairsville, marked with a brown and white shield) and Route 30 (southwest of Ligonier, similarly marked). There are faint blue lines on the map, representing rivers or streams, especially noticeable near Saltsburg and Blairsville.
Overlaying the bottom center of the map is a black rectangular playback control bar. This bar features blue playback controls, including a blue play button (pointing right), a fast-forward button, and a speed indicator showing “10x,” which suggests the map can replay the flight’s path at ten times normal speed. There is also a small square button, likely for stopping playback.
In the bottom right corner of the map, there is a circular blue icon with three horizontal lines, which is likely a menu or settings button for map options. The map also displays a timestamp showing “27s ago,” indicating that the flight data being displayed is 27 seconds old, reflecting near real-time tracking. Just below this, there is a copyright notice: “© 2025 FlightAware,” confirming the source and date of the flight data.
At the very bottom of the screen, partially visible, is an advertisement banner. The ad contains the text “PERSPECTIVE SEE WHAT YOU’RE MISSING” in large, bold white letters on a dark background, with a yellow box to the right containing the words “READ MORE.” The ad is cut off at the bottom edge, and there is a white “X” in a circle on the far right, which is a button to close or dismiss the advertisement.
Every visual element is presented in a high-contrast, dark-themed interface, making the information clear and accessible. The app’s layout is structured to provide immediate access to essential flight data at the top, with more detailed geographic and flight path information in the lower half. The map is interactive, as indicated by the playback controls and menu button, allowing users to review the flight’s progress or adjust the display. The presence of the “More details” button suggests that additional flight information, such as weather, aircraft details, or historical data, can be accessed if needed.
In summary, this screenshot provides a comprehensive, real-time overview of a specific flight’s status and location, combining textual flight data, a detailed map with labeled towns, roads, and flight path, interactive playback controls, and standard mobile interface elements, all within a visually accessible, dark-themed design.
As a #planespotter and #AvGeek this is cool but, why is this flying over my #house now for the tenth time? I get your #out #joyriding I mean it is a #beautiful day with amazing #flyingweather but still. Not a big deal but, as a #FAAsTeam #member, noticing things like this does put me on high alert.
