Does Flightaware perform sanity checks on submitted data

I see this (very high ranking) station in the station statistics.

What surprises me is that every day this station has only reports > 250 NM, only in 1 direction and to top it off, an extremely high number of those…

How plausible is this?

Easy - the station location has not been set.

Thanks, had not noticed/considered that… It remains special though.

Maybe FA should use the airport location as an approximation :wink:
