Helicopters, military and low planes over Marana

4 helicopters are flying within 60 km. The nearest, WATTS86 (EC45), is 6 km SE at 2,450 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.

3 military aircraft are visible nearby: WATTS86 (EC45) 6 km SE at 2,450 ft; WATTS21 (EC45) 10 km NW at 2,525 ft; GOON39 (H60) 29 km NNW at 4,150 ft. Many military flights switch their transponders off or hide their identity, so this is a minimum.

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

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

Is a plane circling over Marana?

N305PD (B06, helicopter) is 38 km SE at 3,225 ft. Over the last 15 minutes it has stayed within about 1.1 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 Marana?

With 9 aircraft within 25 km, Marana is busier than 1 of 2 nearby large cities right now. The busiest nearby sky is over Chandler with 32 aircraft within 25 km.

What plane is flying over me?

This page uses the centre of Marana. 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.
