Not sure how the 7-day average is being calculated for arrival times, but it appears to have issues. I saw an earlier post suggesting that it was really a 14-day average, but that doesn’t explain what I’m seeing.
For example, today’s flight BA 293 is showing a 7-day average arrival into KIAD of 19:35 EDT, when it has not arrived before 19:49 EDT in the last 2 weeks (and the next earliest time was after 20:00 EDT.
I’m wondering whether there is a timezone issue here, and that it is really showing the average time in EST while claiming to be EDT.
Thanks,

Any thoughts from Flightaware staff? Just noticed this, the 7 day average is way off.
For example see: flightaware.com/live/flight/DAL … /KJFK/EHAM
Departure 7-day average: 16:26 EDT
Even eyeballing it, not even close last 12 days=

This is a known issue and our developers are hopeful to have it corrected in the near future. I am sorry for the confusion with the 7 day averages on the site currently.
