  • Route Database updates question?

    Please excuse innocence - Just wondering why the routes database can't auto update - if flight ABC123 is seen to be rising from Lanazarote and descending into Nice three times, would it be reasonable to assume that's it's route?

    It doesn't know where its going after takeoff. Unless it is told beforehand. And the routes change depending on summer/winter rotations.

      First off all it's quite complicated to build such system. And it would not work so good. The coverage is changing all the time, so in many cases it would be very hard to automatically decide where it took off or landed. There are also common that pilot type wrong callsign into the system, sometime there are 2-3 airports near each other, sometime aircraft divert to other airports, and even if it's possible to decide where it took off and landed we still don't know flight number.
