FAA ASDI is now available for all FR24 users, but it's still in early beta stadium. FAA data is delayed by 5 minutes (that is why we show a different aircraft color). FAA data is also missing HEX-code, so we don't know what aircraft is flying the route.
FAA ASDI data comes from Federal Aviation Administration in USA and contains position data for most aircraft in, to, from North American airspace.

If the aircraft is picked up by a Mode-S FR24 uploader software.
It will display the correct Mode-S HEX code for the aircraft from the FAA ASDI data.Brian

Matching FAA flights.
One thing I've noticed here in Canada is that the matching doesn't handle WestJet flights very well. Is it possible to fix this on FR24 or do we need to get WestJet to change their procedures? :-)
Here's an example, in the picture below FAA flight WJA508 (bottom left) is actually the realtime flight 508 just south of Hope. Same thing with flight 997 and 604 near Kelowna.

Thanks
Originally posted by Mike View PostYes, this is a known issue. Westjet is one of few airlines that omits ICAO code in their callsign. So we receive 995 from ADS-B. But we get WJA995 from FAA. Best would of course be if Westjet transmitted correct callsign, but it will never happen, so we need to handle it. This also sometimes happens on other flights, noticed VIR714R and VIR714 flying with 5 minutes difference 2 days ago. It's on our to-do list and will be sorted out.
The FAA traffic does add so much to the site, I look forward to all the improvements you have in the pipeline.
Keep up the amazing work.
