What you will see

Reading the sky over Narita

Around a hub like Tokyo Narita, most of what is overhead is routine: airliners and cargo aircraft on published arrival and departure procedures, general aviation, and helicopters. AeroScope is observer-relative — instead of asking “where is flight X,” you fix the map on Tokyo Narita and it continuously evaluates everything above it. Each aircraft carries a transparent 0–100 attention score built from eight rule-based factors (emergency squawk, military hex allocation, proximity, altitude and speed anomalies, loitering patterns and integrity-check failures), so the one worth a second look rises to the top instead of hiding in the traffic.

Spoofed or self-inconsistent broadcasts are flagged too: AeroScope runs a DO-260B integrity check (NIC/NACp/NACv/SIL), a Kalman normalised-innovation test and geometric-versus-barometric altitude residuals, and only raises a flag when at least two independent detectors agree.

FAQ

Flights over Tokyo Narita — FAQ

What planes fly over Narita?
Most traffic over Narita near Tokyo Narita Airport (NRT) is scheduled airline and cargo flights on published arrival and departure routes, plus general aviation and helicopters. AeroScope shows each aircraft overhead in real time with its type, operator and altitude — open the live map centred on Tokyo Narita to see the current picture.
How high do planes fly over Tokyo Narita?
It depends on distance from the runway. Aircraft on final approach or initial climb near Tokyo Narita (NRT) may be only a few thousand feet up, while overflights cruise at 30,000–40,000 ft. AeroScope shows the barometric altitude of every aircraft, so you can tell an arrival or departure from a high overflight.
Can I see military or unusual aircraft over Narita?
Sometimes. A large share of military and state aircraft broadcast ADS-B just like airliners, and AeroScope surfaces those over Narita with an explanation of why each was flagged, plus a 0–100 attention score. Some sensitive flights operate without ADS-B and cannot be seen by any crowdsourced tracker.
Is it legal to track flights over Tokyo Narita?
Yes. AeroScope uses only public ADS-B broadcasts that aircraft transmit openly on 1090 MHz and that volunteer receiver networks republish freely. Viewing this public data over Tokyo Narita Airport is legal; AeroScope simply adds fusion, integrity checks and anomaly analysis on top of it.
