Enroute returns flights not enroute

FlightAware AeroAPI
1

Currently, the Enroute method returns flights which have “0” as the departure time (aren’t in the air), but the definition from the Enroute method should exclude those flights:

Enroute returns information about flights already in the air for the specified airport and maximum number of flights to be returned. Enroute flights are returned from soonest estimated arrival to least soon estimated arrival.

Sorry, documentation error. Enroute includes all filed flights, regardless of if they’ve departed or not.
