Planes over Pensacola right now

At 12:01 local (17:01 UTC), 9 aircraft were airborne within 60 km of Pensacola, Florida, United States, 2 of them within 25 km of the city centre. The closest is JIA5511 (CRJ9), 23 km NE at 4,175 ft.

By height: 1 cruising at 20,000 ft or more (mostly passing over on the way somewhere else), 5 between 3,000 and 20,000 ft (typically climbing out or descending into a nearby airport) and 3 below 3,000 ft. Most of the traffic is arriving at or departing from airports around Pensacola.

Helicopters, military and low planes over Pensacola

No helicopters are broadcasting their position within 60 km of Pensacola 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.

2 military aircraft are visible nearby: BB048 (TEX2) 23 km NNE at 2,650 ft; 166218 (TEX2) 39 km NNE at 950 ft. Many military flights switch their transponders off or hide their identity, so this is a minimum.

1 aircraft is below 3,000 ft and not next to an airport: N419SF 32 km E at 1,700 ft. Low flying away from runways is usually helicopters, survey or banner flights, or traffic approaching a smaller airfield.

2 aircraft nearby use 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 Pensacola?

N419SF (C172, aircraft) is 32 km E at 1,700 ft. Over the last 13 minutes it has stayed within about 2.4 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.

What plane is flying over me?

This page uses the centre of Pensacola. 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.
