Discussion about Flightradar24 database

[Oblivian]

Here's another oddity.

Approx 1140utc dec1, there was a flight near new orleans by n511uw. Which appears to be Airmed services llc. (A..m..d?). But the callsign transmitted appears to be it's reg.

Enter zk-hgu. (Who have a local callsign use of AMDx) Who, looking at its flight playback list, completed a flight between the US and NZ at warp9, completing some auto route data. And later a static position playback flight matching n511uw location at the above time - but with clear callsign AMD6
(With a vrate of -30,000 fpm...)

Can't put a finger on the how here. It's not like n511uw is using a miscoded transponder. Or appears to be transmitting an AMD callsign. Or being spoofed. Unless the 2nd box is and being matched wrong?

Or is this the route table being funny since there are multiple instances of AMD (also south africa red cross mercy flight) used around the globe. And it was later set aside for use in new Zealand.

Jetstar Aircraft:
In the database at the moment all aircraft (apart from 2 3K aircraft) for Jetstar Australia, Asia and Japan are listed under the JQ/JST fleet. These aircraft should be moved (in my opinion) to the respective airline fleet pages. Even though the aircraft are owned by the Qantas Group they are flown and operated by there respective airlines. This is no different to wet-leased aircraft, with for example the E190s owned by Alliance Airlines still listed in the Qantaslink Fleet page. Aircraft with the registration 9V airline code needs to be changed to 3K/JSA to move them to the Jetstar Asia page and JA aircraft to GK/JJP for Jetstar Japan.

CS-TVO 320N TAP is reported to have been delivered on December 22,2024 as shown also in the history of FR24. It also shows that, at least an airplane with the same hex made 4 sectors earlier that day, out and into LIS. Any explanation available? Thanx

It delivered on 22 Novermber, not December. First service was TAP434 on 22 December. It shows quite clearly in the flight history.

Hi all,
I was wondering on why, after correctly updating a/c info on the other thread, on fr24 it’s now showing as n/a without the hex code, as if it were not transmitting it.
I also cross checked with my ads-b receiver and the hex is transmitted as expected, so what could be the issue in this case?

PS: with the old data, a/c was showing the hex in flightradar

Hex 44029D / OECCJ

Because before your frame, hex 44029D was assigned to EC35 OE-XYY which was blocked from tracking. That heli went to France in 2022 but FR24 have not removed the block tags from the hex, hence why you are not seeing anything. You will need to speak to someone at FR and tell them this info.

Hi everyone!
Just wanted to point a small thing. I noticed that now there is also the differentiation between A321neo LR and XLR, but about this, I noted how for example ITA Airways fleet is considered to be LR. Many people think that they are but according to fuel capacity (18.5 tons) they are just the basic version of the A321neo ACF (hence the A321-271NX). Can it be updated? Thanks in advance!

Good Morning,

my Name is Achim and this is my first post on the FR24 forum. Right now, I live in Paraguay.

Is it possible, to block an Airplane on FR24?

We currently have a series of stolen airplanes in Paraguay. A group of armed men raids the farm and steals the plane.
It is therefore a good idea not to appear on FlightRadar 24.
The airplanes have a transponder on board, which is a regulation in Paraguay.

That is the background to my question.

Hello, I currently fly a Skyranger Nynja, it has ADSB out via my transponder and a Pilot Aware unit fitted.
the aircraft parameters in my transponder are correct but It always shows as an airliner icon in FR24, I've a a friend with another Nynja that I notice also shows as an airliner Icon.
Is this a database error?
The ICAO type is NNJA and can be classed as a Microlight or light aircraft

The icons/sprites have been in "rework" (per Mike, CEO) for nearly a decade now. They are never happening. Massive airport pin icons that block out entire cities on the map - yes, we will give you thousands of those even though nobody ever asked for them! But correct plane icons/sprites ? Noooooo, that's too hard, man ! The '737' icon sprite is the default one that everything gets (including helicopters) where there either isn't a type code set, or for types with no proper sprite for them - such as the NNJA.

Anyway, you should be careful what you wish for because they gave the Embraer Tucano a proper sprite...... with a propeller on each wing ! :facepalm:
