Getting the tail number for a flight.

FlightAware AeroAPI
1

Hi,

I am developing an app that uses the search facility to get currently live flights. Once I have the response I would like to get the tail number of an aircraft. I can’t spot a method to use to find the tail number but a lot of the methods use tail number as an input. Can you point me in the right direction please?

Thanks

Stewart

The function “AirlineFlightInfo” can return the aircraft registration if it is known. You will need to first call FlightInfoEx to obtain the faFlightID for the flight you want.
