FAQs about PlaneSpotter

I'm new to aircraft identification, do you have anything that can help me?

All you need is an interest in learning more about airplanes. We’ve put together a simple guide that you can review (or download and print) that covers the basics for identifying U.S. aircraft – commercial, general aviation and military. Please look at “A Beginner’s Guide to Aircraft Identification“.

Nope. In many cases, you will not have access to when a photo was taken, who took it or who contributed it. It may also not be possible to read registration numbers from the images. Just fill in as much as you can.
This is simply a tool to help you keep track of where you are in the process. As you complete the identification on an image, check the status box that you have completed work on this image. This will place a check mark on the thumbnail page to help you track your progress over the hours/days/weeks that may be required to complete a batch. [See note on making changes.]
Not a problem, just leave the information as it is currently. (One exception to this. If you don’t know what the aircraft is but know for certain that IT IS NOT what the basic information says it is, then enter “?????” into both the manufacturer and type field. [Even us “experts” make mistakes!]

Simply click on this link (Paper Form) and you’ll get a printer friendly form to use in this way.

If you click on this link (Hints and Tips), you’ll get a PDF document that you can print off that contains as much of our knowledge and experience that we have been able to capture. If you come up with additional suggestions or resources, we would like to know.

Hey! We’re good but not perfect. If you find an error like this, please simply fix it by entering the correct data.

Yes, simply click on the thumnail image or image identification number. You will get Photo ID form back up, populated with all the data you have entered. Simply make changes and resubmit the form. This works even if you have indicated you have finished working on an image.
Simply click the “FINISHED” button on the page with the image thumbnails.
Unless you request otherwise, you will receive a new batch of images to work on within a couple of weeks of submitting a batch.

Simply use the “CONTACT” us button and send us a note.

Our undying gratitude.
