Helicopters over Valyermo common questions

How high do helicopters fly over Valyermo?

From the passes recorded here: private and charter helicopters at 5,700–7,500 ft. These are the middle half of measured altitudes above sea level for each group, not a floor or a ceiling.

How can I tell if it's police or a news helicopter?

Police aircraft usually fly tight, repeated orbits over one spot and often stay for a long time. News helicopters tend to hold a wider circle at a higher altitude and arrive after an incident is already underway. This page labels each aircraft by its operator, so you don't have to guess.

Where does this data come from?

GTLA AirWatch tracks public ADS-B and MLAT broadcasts that aircraft transmit about their own position, the same open data used by air-traffic enthusiasts worldwide. It is updated every few seconds.
