Frequently Asked Questions
If a plane icon is moving on the map, yes. That's ADS-B, the aircraft's own GPS position broadcast, updated every few seconds. No icon means the flight isn't airborne at the moment: either before pushback, already landed, or a day it doesn't operate.
Scheduled equipment is the AT45. The live tracker shows the actual tail and registration when 5T 608 is airborne. Carriers swap aircraft often enough that you'll sometimes see a different airframe than the scheduled type.
