Helicopters, military and low planes over Leander

3 helicopters are flying within 60 km. The nearest, SHINR13 (H60), is 46 km N at 2,525 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.

2 military aircraft are visible nearby: SHINR13 (H60) 46 km N at 2,525 ft; R20502 (H60) 57 km N at 1,200 ft. Many military flights switch their transponders off or hide their identity, so this is a minimum.

4 aircraft are below 3,000 ft and not next to an airport: N414GK 40 km ESE at 2,300 ft; N712NV 43 km ENE at 2,475 ft; SHINR13 46 km N at 2,525 ft; SFE1 52 km S at 1,300 ft. Low flying away from runways is usually helicopters, survey or banner flights, or traffic approaching a smaller airfield.

Is a plane circling over Leander?

R20502 (H60, helicopter) is 57 km N at 1,200 ft. Over the last 12 minutes it has stayed within about 3.5 km of one spot.

Aircraft circle for many ordinary reasons: police or news helicopters watching an incident, holding patterns while waiting to land, aerial survey, flight training or photography.

How busy is the sky over Leander?

Leander is quieter than every nearby large cities right now. The busiest nearby sky is over Austin with 4 aircraft within 25 km.

What plane is flying over me?

This page uses the centre of Leander. 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.
