The recent makeover to the Live Flights page is very good. Information is logically structured and it is a lot more clear. I presume that all the information in this page can be sourced via FlightAware API. If that is the case, I would like to know the following information is obtained:
[list=]
[li] Flight taxiing details… how long the flight was/is taxiing[/li][li] Gate departure and gate arrival… currently, I am aware of methods that provide when the flight took to the air (off ground) and landed (on ground), but I am not sure how to get information about scheduled and actual departure and arrivals from and to the gate.[/li][li] Fuel burn… how to obtain this data, in addition to information like dry operating weight, zero fuel weight, fuel on board, ramp weight and arrival fuel.[/li][/list]
I do not see that you are currently using the API. A good start would be to get your key and become familiar with the API. You can do that at flightaware.com/commercial/flightxml/key.
I have been browsing the API quite a bit and most of what I need is obtained via the /Search operation and /FlightInfoEx to some extent. The documentation is not making any distinction of ground versus gate, and I know it cannot be both if I don’t see response parameters that make that distinction clear.
Is there a trial version I can sign up for? Thank you.
I am currently tracking the status of a flight and i do not see the Fuel on Board listed anywhere. What setting do I need to change to display that information?
