    Question for a non member friend who likes to photograph planes flying over.

    Is there any way to find what planes would be flying over a given location and when for the purpose of photographing. A small plane flew over yesterday, it was about the size of the tellus plane but i don't think it was. Where would they have to get permission to fly. He lives in the south east

    www.flightradar24.com will tell you what is over at the moment.

    For unscheduled traffic it would be next to impossible to find out what will be there and when

    you can go on an unscheduled flight without notifying anyone? When one appears to fly across another on flightradar they are at different heights?

    The authorities would have been notified. Joe Public would not be privy to these details.
    Flights only appear at certain levels on Flight Radar.

    depends.. I can depart from an uncontrolled airfield and fly from coast to coast without speaking to anyone. As long as I stay clear of controlled airspace and don't cross international borders, there's no need to file a flight plan or let authorities know. Most of Ireland is uncontrolled airspace from surface to 2500 to 7500 ft depending on the proximity of controlled airspace
