Whats up with Flightaware??
For the past few days I've been trying to check on our planes and other medevac planes in Alberta but Flightaware isnt showing most of the flights or only one leg of the flight. It seems to be working sporadically at best. Anyone else noticing any problems?
Any chance its because they are filing under the civil ident and not a flight number or company call sign? I recall reading a string awhile back about billing issues for Nav Canada and a requirement to identify yourself upon departure to assist them in sorting out their billing problems.

Re: Whats up with Flightaware??
Could be blocked out by default if the flight has an "M" at the end. Not all med-evac flights actually get filed with it and perhaps that why you only see some of them. There is a forum on the flightaware pages...post a question there.magellan wrote:For the past few days I've been trying to check on our planes and other medevac planes in Alberta but Flightaware isnt showing most of the flights or only one leg of the flight.

I've noticed it as well. Alot of our flights show one leg only, doesn't seem to discriminate between medevac or not. Seems sporadic - I was under the assumption it was related to IFR plans but maybe not 
Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not,knows no release from the little things; knows not the livid loneliness of fear, nor mountain heights where bitter joy can hear the sound of wings.
