Helicopters, military and low planes over Alafaya

1 helicopter is flying within 60 km. The nearest, N175SC (AS50), is 20 km NNW at 1,025 ft. Police, air-ambulance, news and tour helicopters often fly low and slow over cities; ADS-B does not say which role a helicopter has, but the registration on the flight page usually tells you the operator.

No military aircraft are showing within 60 km. Military jets often fly without broadcasting, so "none visible" does not mean none flying.

10 aircraft are below 3,000 ft and not next to an airport: FRG315 5 km NW at 2,400 ft; ~290737 25 km WSW at 800 ft; AAL2769 29 km SSW at 1,725 ft; ERU466 32 km N at 2,475 ft; ERU979 37 km N at 2,475 ft. Low flying away from runways is usually helicopters, survey or banner flights, or traffic approaching a smaller airfield.

2 aircraft nearby use a privacy programme (PIA or LADD), so the owner asked for the identity to be hidden; the position is still shown.

Is a plane circling over Alafaya?

ERU403 (C172, aircraft) is 23 km N at 100 ft. Over the last 11 minutes it has stayed within about 2.6 km of one spot.

N336MA (P28A, aircraft) is 41 km WNW at 1,050 ft. Over the last 16 minutes it has stayed within about 2.1 km of one spot.

Aircraft circle for many ordinary reasons: police or news helicopters watching an incident, holding patterns while waiting to land, aerial survey, flight training or photography.

What plane is flying over me?

This page uses the centre of Alafaya. For the exact aircraft above your street, open "What's overhead" and share your location: it lists every aircraft near you with the direction and angle to look.

Aircraft broadcast their position by ADS-B and volunteer receivers relay it. Small drones, most military aircraft on missions and some police aircraft do not broadcast, so they never appear on any public tracker. Drone sightings cannot be checked here.

Coverage: ADS-B from volunteer receivers. Within 60 km of a big city coverage is usually good above a few thousand feet; low helicopters can drop out between receivers. Circling detection uses positions sampled once a minute over the last 20 minutes.
