Resources · References & Guides

A quiet collection of aviation notes, explanations and examples.

This section will grow slowly. Our aim is not to build a large library, but to publish a few clear, public-facing references that make aviation and planespotting in Singapore easier to understand and more comfortable to participate in.

Written for the wider aviation community, not just members.
Expandable cards keep things compact, even as this page grows.
Some cards will eventually link to full guides or external references.

Information

Short explainers and references that help frame aviation and spotting in a clear, accessible way.

Drafted by Example Author.

This resource will cover simple, practical notes for anyone new to aviation watching in Singapore:

  • What is normal to see around fences and public areas.
  • Basic comfort and safety reminders for yourself and others.
  • How to be a low-impact presence around families, staff and other spotters.
  • Examples of behaviour that sits well within local norms and expectations.

When ready, this card will link to a full guide. For now, it acts as a marker for what we plan to publish.

Aviation photos often include people and details that were never the main subject. This resource is intended to outline:

  • When we choose to blur or avoid certain details in our own sharing.
  • How we think about uniforms, badges and number plates.
  • Balancing enthusiasm with respect for privacy and operational context.
  • Examples of small editing choices that make a big difference.

Over time, this will hold a curated list of links — official aviation bodies, safety material and other references that we consider suitable for public sharing.

The aim is not to mirror what already exists elsewhere, but to gently guide newer enthusiasts towards reliable sources when they ask “where can I read more?”.

Guides

Slightly deeper material for those who want to understand aviation and spotting beyond the surface level.

Drafted by Example Author.

This guide will collect small, self-contained explanations for:

  • Common callsigns, aircraft type codes and shorthand.
  • Basic approach and departure terms heard or seen online.
  • Ways to talk about aircraft and operations with clarity, not jargon.

It is meant to be something you can skim, not a textbook.

Drafted by Example Author.

This guide will describe real-world situations that many enthusiasts will recognise, such as:

  • A crowded viewing spot with limited space and mixed expectations.
  • An unusual aircraft movement that may or may not be appropriate to post about.
  • Friends or newcomers asking “is it okay if we stand here or do this?”

The focus will be on explaining the thought process, not telling people what to do.

These cards are a roadmap. We expect them to evolve, and some may be merged or replaced as we learn what is genuinely useful for the wider aviation community.
