Different results between FlightAware and HelloFlight
Hi,

I wonder why the recorded arrival times for DL619 at NRT is different for these two sites? Am I missing something?

It appears that they are both local times. So, I am confused because of this apparent discrepancy.

Based on the departure I would say Flight Aware is reporting push back to gate and the other tool is looking at takeoff to touchdown.

worse, flightaware lately is *sometimes* reporting wheels-up to wheels-down, and *sometimes* reporting gate to gate. obnoxious.

www.flightstats.com and clicking on the extended details like shows gate push and runway time. Allows you to verify flightaware's accuracy.
