Hi,
We have found issues requesting method “InFlightInfo” (FlightXML2). We need to retrieve enroute flight data with ident=tailNumber but response doesn’t contain the expected data, while it’s working as expected using ident=flightCode.
For example today flight with tailNumber=”EC-HQL” and FlightCode=” VLG6331” following test
- Test InFlightInfo using ident=TailNumber (“EC-HQL”):
{“InFlightInfoResult”:{“faFlightID”:“”,“ident”:“ECHQL”,“prefix”:“”,“type”:“”,“suffix”:“”,“origin”:“”,“destination”:“”,“timeout”:“”,“timestamp”:0,“departureTime”:0,
“firstPositionTime”:0,“arrivalTime”:0,“longitude”:0,“latitude”:0,“lowLongitude”:0,“lowLatitude”:0,“highLongitude”:0,“highLatitude”:0,“groundspeed”:0,“altitude”:0,
“heading”:0,“altitudeStatus”:“”,“updateType”:“”,“altitudeChange”:“”,“waypoints”:“”}}
- Test InFlightInfo using ident=FlightCode(“VLG6331”)
{“InFlightInfoResult”:{“faFlightID”:“VLG6331-1432625700-schedule-0261:2”,“ident”:“VLG6331”,“prefix”:“”,“type”:“A320”,“suffix”:“”,“origin”:“LIMC”,“destination”:“LEBL”,“timeout”:“ok”,“timestamp”:1432802463,“departureTime”:1432800205,“firstPositionTime”:1432800205,
“arrivalTime”:0,“longitude”:3.9344800000000001994,“latitude”:42.359070000000002665,“lowLongitude”:3.9344800000000001994,“lowLatitude”:42.359070000000002665,
“highLongitude”:8.2850999999999999091,“highLatitude”:45.20859999999999701,“groundspeed”:410,“altitude”:283,“heading”:220,“altitudeStatus”:“”,“updateType”:“TA”,“altitudeChange”:“D”,“waypoints”:“”}}
We’ve encountered similar behavior using tail number instead of flightCode in “FlightInfoEx” method.
Could you please tell us why for enroute flights the same service is responding wrongly using tail number as input value?
Thanks a lot,
