Helicopters, military and low planes over Asheville

1 helicopter is flying within 60 km. The nearest, N145MH (EC45), is 3 km S at 2,250 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.

Every aircraft below 3,000 ft is close to an airport, which is normal approach or departure traffic.

Is a plane circling over Asheville?

No aircraft is circling over Asheville right now. GodsView started watching for circling just now, so an orbit that began earlier may not show yet.

How busy is the sky over Asheville?

With 3 aircraft within 25 km, Asheville is busier than 2 of 3 nearby large cities right now. The busiest nearby sky is over Greenville, SC with 5 aircraft within 25 km.

There is no major hub airport within 150 km, so most aircraft here are overflights or regional and private flights.

What plane is flying over me?

This page uses the centre of Asheville. 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.
