Flight Radar query

[TheWoollybacksWife]

Is it possible to check historical data from one or two particular flights? I can see a week but I'd really like to find out information for a month or maybe two.

I have silver membership and can see 90 days. With gold membership you can see a year I think.

I think, but I’m open to correction, that to look more than about a week on Flight Radar you need to subscribe.

I’d also be a bit wary of Flightradar because certainly the timings they show for live flights actually in progress don’t conform to industry standard (e.g. take-off does not equal time of departure) but they may well have the corrected info from the airport or airline in the look back data, TBH never really checked.

I think other apps such as Flightaware let you look back for free a little bit further than Flightradar, again with an option to pay if you really want to rewind the clock.

You can get a 30 day free gold trial and then cancel.

Having done a bit of research it does look like Flightradar’s flight history (specifically timings) still looks incorrect for a random flight I selected from yesterday.

They still have the take-off time logged as the ATD (Actual Time of Departure), which is most definitely and fundamentally incorrect. The industry standard is that ATD is time out of the gate, Actual Time of Arrival, ATA, is time “in” at the gate (definitely not the landing time).

Maybe the Flightradar data gets corrected eventually and/or for subscribers but If the OP is doing some research with regard to punctuality then in addition to Flightradar they may need to also check with another source. Flightaware does appear to have recorded legit times for several days now, at least for that one flight number I looked at

I know Flightradar is very popular, and does a good job at painting the broad brush picture but does have significant limitations in some areas.

Thanks everyone. I've checked on flightaware and can see a couple of weeks data. The flight I'm booked on has a tight turnaround for a connection so I wanted to check its reliability as there is still time to change to an earlier flight.
