That's the biggest problem with flight trackers. That's why I decided to review them, also using your, readers, help. The next post (<a href="http://arrivedok.mobi/blog/2008/10/01/flight-tracker-part-ii/" rel="nofollow">FT II</a>) defines criteria which I want to use when evaluating Flight Trackers. The biggest question of all, seems like, is: Can we have the most reliable flight tracker? Or: what information shall a flight tracker use? Dear Ian:

You are right. That’s the biggest problem with flight trackers. That’s why I decided to review them, also using your, readers, help.

The next post (FT II) defines criteria which I want to use when evaluating Flight Trackers.

The biggest question of all, seems like, is: Can we have the most reliable flight tracker? Or: what information shall a flight tracker use?

This is a matter of where they get arrival, departure etc. (altogether, flight status) information from. I heard it happened that a flight tracker showed Landed status for one particular flight while, in fact, that plane crashed. A service like flight tracker must be very neatly integrated with airport or air company or whatever IT systems to ensure it provides credible information about the flight status. Something like that. I saw a couple of flight tracker websites but I think there is a big problem with their data credibility.
