Planes over Edison right now

At 15:11 local (19:11 UTC), 125 aircraft were airborne within 60 km of Edison, New Jersey, United States, 26 of them within 25 km of the city centre. The closest is N5934V (P28A), 6 km NE at 700 ft.

By height: 7 cruising at 20,000 ft or more (mostly passing over on the way somewhere else), 37 between 3,000 and 20,000 ft (typically climbing out or descending into a nearby airport) and 81 below 3,000 ft. Most of the traffic is arriving at or departing from airports around Edison.

Helicopters, military and low planes over Edison

11 helicopters are flying within 60 km. The nearest, N8363N (R44), is 26 km ENE at 200 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.

25 aircraft are below 3,000 ft and not next to an airport: N429RC 14 km SW at 1,925 ft; N6447G 17 km SW at 1,700 ft; N720CG 18 km NNW at 1,975 ft; CAP2906 19 km WSW at 2,100 ft; N793WT 24 km SSW at 1,500 ft. Low flying away from runways is usually helicopters, survey or banner flights, or traffic approaching a smaller airfield.

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

What plane is flying over me?

This page uses the centre of Edison. 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.

• What's flying over me (use my location)

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.
