The webcam operates in a special spotting mode, designed for aviation enthusiasts who enjoy watching aircraft take off and land. It usually works for several hours per day, mainly during daylight when visibility and air traffic are best, rather than broadcasting around the clock. The webcam often captures narrow-body jets such as the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737, which are common on European routes. Occasionally, larger long-haul aircraft like the Boeing 787 Dreamliner or the Airbus A350 can also be seen arriving or departing. The stream offers a real-time look at one of the UK's busiest regional airports, making it a favorite spot for plane lovers to experience the excitement of Birmingham's skies.
