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 SF3. The live tracker shows the actual tail and registration when ZL 3771 is airborne. Carriers swap aircraft often enough that you'll sometimes see a different airframe than the scheduled type.
Tue Thu Sun. 3 days a week. On days outside that pattern this page will show the schedule but no live aircraft.
Scheduled 1h 10m gate to gate from MEL to MGB. Actual air time varies with winds and ATC routing. Tailwinds can shave 15 to 20 minutes on long segments.
GPS-accurate via ADS-B. Typically within 30 meters horizontally, updated every 5 to 10 seconds. If the broadcast drops over oceans or mountainous terrain, the map holds the last-known position and the label changes to reflect the signal gap.
