Live Flight Tracker

US and Canadian aviation reading guides

Understand airport advisories, aircraft identities, weather products and traffic statistics. These source-linked guides distinguish public observations from official operational services.

• Ground stop or ground delay program: what changes?

  An airport traffic-management notice is not a cancellation notice for every flight.

• Why airport status and flight status can disagree

  A system advisory, a passenger update and a position report are separate records.

• Why a weather delay can happen under clear skies

  The weather outside one terminal does not describe the whole flight network.

• Comparing airline delay statistics without mixing measures

  Choose a denominator before deciding which airline or airport performed better.

• Why a US aircraft can be missing from a public map

  Aircraft equipment, reception and publication are different parts of the evidence chain.

• Matching a flight number to an aircraft report

  A service label and an aircraft identity answer different questions.

• Reading an FAA aircraft registration result

  An administrative aircraft record is not a live movement record.

• What a US NOTAM or TFR map can tell a reader

  A coloured shape is a pointer to a notice, not the complete notice.

• Why Canadian surveillance coverage is not public map coverage

  An operational surveillance capability does not promise every report to every website.

• Finding Canadian NOTAMs without misreading the search area

  The location used to find a notice is not necessarily the subject of the notice.

• What an automated Canadian airport weather report shows

  A sensor report, forecast and camera image are three different products.

• Reading a Canadian runway condition report

  A runway condition report does not tell you whether every flight is cancelled.

• Reading a Canadian aircraft registration record

  A registration mark can help identify a record; it does not establish a current journey.

• What Canadian aircraft movement statistics actually count

  A movement count is not a count of unique aircraft or airline passengers.

• Comparing flight times across the United States and Canada

  Keep the date, timezone and event label attached to every time.

• Finding the operating flight behind a codeshare number

  Begin with “operated by,” then compare the service date and airports.

Regional aircraft observations

Country-scoped samples with source times, airport links and coverage notes.

Aircraft type reference guides

Compare aircraft designs and understand the type labels in public flight observations. A reference profile does not mean that an aircraft of that type is currently visible.
