[DATA] #40

Open Rimon-Rosen opened 2 weeks ago

Rimon-Rosen commented 2 weeks ago

Many errors. One for example though is: https://api.adsbdb.com/v0/callsign/aal782

It shows the plane going from PHX to PHL when really it is BOS to AUS. I am getting many aircraft where the origin and destination are totally wrong.

Does ADSB-DB get the actual flight information, or does it try to predict it?

The data is based on historic flight routes, but obviously these can change, and thus needs to be updated frequently.

Flight routes not already known to adsbdb are scraped when requested, and so should be more up to date.
