Helicopters, military and low planes over Apex
5 helicopters are flying within 60 km. The nearest, ZEUS34 (H64), is 14 km NNE at 900 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.
3 military aircraft are visible nearby: ZEUS34 (H64) 14 km NNE at 900 ft; ZEUS31 (H64) 56 km N at 1,500 ft; ZEUS32 (H64) 56 km N at 1,500 ft. Many military flights switch their transponders off or hide their identity, so this is a minimum.
7 aircraft are below 3,000 ft and not next to an airport: N992FG 17 km ENE at 2,625 ft; N545DU 22 km ENE at 1,425 ft; EDV5103 31 km NNE at 2,500 ft; N486BL 53 km ENE at 1,025 ft; ZEUS31 56 km N at 1,500 ft. Low flying away from runways is usually helicopters, survey or banner flights, or traffic approaching a smaller airfield.

What plane is flying over me?
This page uses the centre of Apex. 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.
