Helicopters, military and low planes over Frankston East
5 helicopters are flying within 60 km. The nearest, ZHS (AS50), is 10 km NNE at under 100 ft and has been circling. 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.
5 aircraft are below 3,000 ft and not next to an airport: KIY 14 km W at 2,900 ft; VH-EUE 26 km E at 1,150 ft; FX1 37 km NNW at 1,325 ft; OXV 40 km WNW at 2,675 ft; VH8KM 53 km WNW at 1,025 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 Frankston East. 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.
