The airplane information shown on FR24 is not transmitted by the airplane. The information comes from a giant database that has been built up manually during 5 years time. It's based on the unique Hex/ModeS code that is transmitted by the airplane.
Every day there are new deliveries and old aircraft getting new owners, so new information have to be added into database daily.
Help us updating the database by posting the Hex/ModeS code together with aircraft information in this thread. The format that will make it quick and easy for us to update the database is:
ModeS/Hex-code - always needed
Registration
ICAO Type code - sets the icon
Type
MSN
Airline / Owner - no individuals, trustees or leasing companies
Paint code (ICAO) - should reflect the livery of the aircraft - ICAO code only, not IATA code or name
Operator code (ICAO) - ICAO code only, not IATA code or name
First flight date - not delivery date - format year-mm-dd (if mm or dd is unknown replace with 00, for example 2012-06-00)

We can't just set or update an icon. Correct icon is set based on the ICAO Type code. When correct ICAO Type code has been provided, the icon will be correct.
For privacy reasons please don't report individuals, trustees or leasing companies as airline/owner. "Private owner" is preffered for non-airline aircraft.
Please don't report data where hex-code and registration is not matching (same country). This happens often when an aircraft is transfered to a new country and the new owner doesn't update the transponder data.
List is available on http://www.mantma.co.uk/icao_country_codes.html
This means that an aircraft with hex-code between A00000 and AFFFFF can only have an US N-registration and not Brazil PR-registration or German D-registration or Chinese B-registration.
This will hopefully make aircraft owners more aware of that they are using an incorrect hex-code and also decrease of numbers of errors when hex-code is re-used in country of orgin.
There are about 5-10 people with access to the database that can update the database from the data posted on this forum. Correct data and data provided in the format above makes it easier for the editors to add the data to database and reduces the processing time.
We are focusing on updating the database with aircraft that are equipped with an ADS-B transponder. Aircraft without ADS-B that are not visible on FR24, may be omitted. Normal processing time is from 5 minutes to 5 weeks.
For aircraft that are live there is a faster option to add missing aircraft data. Press the + button in the plane info window to submit the missing data. Normal processing time is 1-7 days.
