FAQs:

1. How live is FlightAware's tracking and status data? 

The data displayed on FlightAware.com is typically 30 seconds delayed from real-time. Maps animate the aircraft position toward the last known position. An aircraft's position on the map may lag real-time by 1-2 minutes.

2. How often does the data update or refresh? 

Depending on the data source, updates are usually one to four times a minute. For registered members that are logged in, pages will receive more frequent updates.

3. How much does a subscription to FlightAware cost? 

It's free.

4. Where is this data from? 

FlightAware compiles, aggregates, and processes data from over 50 government sources (in Europe, the Americas, and Oceania), dozens of airlines, commercial data providers, as well as thousands of receivers in FlightAware's ADS-B flight tracking network. FlightAware's proprietary algorithms calculate delay and arrival time estimates to offer the most up-to-date and reliable flight tracking data on the Internet. Not all worldwide data sources (e.g., most European data) or satellite/VDL data are freely available on FlightAware.com due to government regulations or commercial agreements. You can contact us if you have a commercial need for worldwide data.
