Helicopters, military and low planes over West Lake Sammamish

No helicopters are broadcasting their position within 60 km of West Lake Sammamish 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.

1 military aircraft is visible nearby: MULE41 (C17) 54 km SSW at 1,575 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: KEN5151 15 km NW at 1,200 ft; N3312J 23 km SSW at 1,700 ft; N20481 44 km SSW at 1,775 ft; LN233TJ 46 km NW at 1,850 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.

What plane is flying over me?

This page uses the centre of West Lake Sammamish. 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.
