Yeah, the data source is imperfect. The flight information pulls the "nearest" (live, scheduled or landed) flight that matches that flight number, to give you a sense of the aircraft on that route.
- JoshTko 3y agoSeems like a fatal flaw in the product where precision is the most important aspect.
- madeofpalk 3y agoIt’s next to impossible to actually answer this precisely at any time 3 hours before departure for airlines that fly both Airbus and Boeing. There will be specific planes scheduled for the flight in advanced, but it changes frequently up until departure due to regular airline logistics.
- aero142 3y agoAdding a date of travel and checking the scheduled tail number would be much more accurate.
- madeofpalk 3y agoKind of. The 'scheduled tail number' will change multiple times in the days before a flight.
- addandsubtract 3y agoJust like the 737 MAX then ;)
- itslennysfault 3y agoImperfect data?!?!! Well, someone isn't getting a coffee! (just kidding. This is a cool project. Good job)
- broadsidepicnic 3y agoWait, what? There's no point in that.. Having flown nearly a decade its more common than not flying the same route with different tail than yesterday.
