Can I retrieve multiple types of data, like position, arrival, and departure information, in a single connection to the FlightAware Firehose?

Yes, with a single firehose connection, all of those data elements can be received.

By default, any [firehose initiation command](https://www.flightaware.com/commercial/firehose/documentation/commands) will send all message types that your account has access to. Only when you specify the `events` command will the server limit what messages you will receive to just what you request.
