Bankstown Airport
live map →10 overflights/day (77%) · typically 700 ft
Lansvale sits close to Bankstown Airport's western approach and departure tracks, with light aircraft passing low along the Georges River corridor through daylight hours. Bankstown Airport is one of Australia's busiest general-aviation fields, and its circuit training runs through daylight hours — light single-engine aircraft flying repeated laps at around a thousand feet.
Helicopters & other light aircraft
2 overflights/day (15%) · typically 600 ft
Around 2 low overflights a day come from aircraft not operating at a tracked airport — helicopters, seaplanes and light aircraft transiting the area. Light-aircraft counts are tracked overflights only — many training and private aircraft carry no ADS-B transponder, so true numbers are higher.
