Planes over Durban right now

No airborne aircraft are in the live ADS-B picture within 60 km of Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa at 04:12 local (02:12 UTC). This area may sit outside the volunteer receiver network, so aircraft can be flying without showing up here.

Helicopters, military and low planes over Durban

No helicopters are broadcasting their position within 60 km of Durban right now. If you can hear one, it may be a police or military helicopter that does not transmit ADS-B, or one outside receiver range at low altitude.

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

What plane is flying over me?

This page uses the centre of Durban. 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.
