About Heli Radar: Helicopter Tracker
See police, air ambulance, news and fire helicopters flying across the US, live on one map. Then zoom into your own sky: who's circling your street, and for how long.
LIVE ACROSS THE US
• ADS-B equipped helicopters across the country on a live map, coloured by who flies them: police, air ambulance, fire, news, military, tour, utility.
• Zoom out for the whole US, zoom in on any city. Circling helicopters stand out.
• Tap one to see who operates it (a city police air unit, a hospital air ambulance, a TV station), its type, altitude, speed and distance.
WHO'S CIRCLING
• Heli Radar spots circling as it happens and shows how long it's been going on.
• Several air ambulances and police helicopters converging on one spot usually means something bigger is going on, and you'll see it.
ALERTS FOR YOUR HOME
• Get a notification when a helicopter starts circling near Home or Work. Choose which classes: police and air ambulance only, or more.
• Quiet hours, and a short weekly summary of your sky.
YOUR SKY, YOUR HISTORY
• Nearby: helicopters that crossed your place today, this week or the last 30 days.
• Home screen widgets and a live notification with a circling timer.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account or sign-up.
• Privacy-blocked (LADD/PIA) aircraft are never shown, and we never show names of private owners.
IMPORTANT
• Heli Radar is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by any police department, government agency, the FAA or any aircraft operator shown.
• For information only. Not for emergency or safety use. In an emergency, call 911.
• Positions come from the community ADS-B network (adsb.lol, ODbL). Helicopters without ADS-B, or flying where receivers are sparse, may not appear, and positions can lag.
Heli Radar Pro unlocks live circling alerts, operator names, up to 5 places, 30-day history and widgets. Monthly, yearly or lifetime, no ads. Free users get the live map and delayed circling alerts for one place.
