Should flight tracking display the distance flown?

During the flight Status says: En Route (41 miles down; 71 miles to go)

After the flight Status says: Arrived 4 days ago (track log)

After the flight, wouldn’t it be nice if the total distance were displayed on the tracking page?

I devoted many hours to thinking about this poll. I consulted many psychics, called all of my relatives, and had a twenty hour discussion with Archie (my cat). I finally decided I had to go with the dislpay rather than display option.

Hmm, something like


Mileage  	  Direct: 369 mi; Filed: 377 mi; Flown: 415 mi

It’s coming, soon.

That will be an awesome bit of data. Can’t wait for it to come out!

Of course it will just depress me when I fly from HPN to TEB Straight line=21 NM. CMK V263 SAX =86 NM.

Check out this slap in the face from the other night

Straight line = 237NM Airway =440 NM

What’s 150 gallons between friends, right?

You’d.

Awesome! Thanks Mduell.

Yeah, but it was smooooth, right?

I take it filing HPN to TEB /G will give clearance and delivery a good chuckle

new map displays look really good (as-filed in blue dashed line and as-flown in the traditional green solid line); however I’m still waiting for the mileage info to show up

Sounds like you need Archie to join the website.

Sorry guys…but I went with the display version. :wink:

Me to. :laughing: :laughing:
