Napoleon, Not sure about a couple of those. I doubt Tiger has a Skylane based in Ephrata, WA. The Letterman QS is a NetJets aircraft, I didn’t see anything linking it to Dave.
That N355PM was a Piper Meridian and think Carl sold it. He then bought the N31JB Citation CJ1 from Jeff Burton and re-registered it to N573CM, flightaware.com/live/flight/N573CM and has been flying it for a couple months.
I don’t think N54JC is Darren Clarke’s ride anymore. I read in a golf magazine recently that he and Lee Westwood just bought a new jet together. Also, N22HS has a new owner, Falcon 200 Aviation LLC, based out of NY,NY. Hal lives in Shreveport, LA and this bird has not been in Shreveport in quite some time. Just my $.02.
Interesting, I looked at it earlier and didn’t notice that. He’s off today and tomorrow so I thought it might be on the move. FAA now says ‘fee paid’ under PRN which was the previous registration, so maybe he’s upgrading.
Can FlightAware track VFR flights? What about a VFR flight with a flight plan?
Some VFR aircraft with flight following are available on the position maps but it largely unreliable and no arrival/departure/flight plan data is available. VFR flight plans are irrelevant and only used by FSS for search and rescue. We suggest ensuring that aircraft are on an IFR flight plan from wheels up to wheels down for proper tracking.
Again, from the Questions/Answers
How does FlightAware handle international flights? (Back To Top)
Short answer: Not very well.
Long answer: FlightAware can only track aircraft that are being tracked by the FAA, which means aircraft only in the United States. For flights arriving in the US from an international origin, FlightAware will be able to track the flight once it is handed off to the US. For flights departing the US for an international destination, FlightAware will be able to track the flight until it leaves the US and then it will be lost with no arrival ever recorded or the arrival time will be the time it left the US.
Additionally, in the interest of “security,” the UK only allows people who have a legitimate business need (e.g. airlines) to be able to track aircraft.
