Thanks for the replies. That looks more doable.

I was referencing my Flightradar24 app.

I'll reference flight aware in the future.

Looks like flight crew was avoiding weather.

I suspect the app you used was missing some data points.
On the other hand, one of those moves (the V shaped one) reminded me of the my former Navy insignia as an Operations Specialist
(In God we trust, all others we track and report)

It looks obvious to me -- The pilot saw my beautiful garden and wanted to get a good look.

Is the noise present because the position data are approximate so as not to give away the precise position of the plane (or for some technical reason)? And does FlightAware smooth the data?

This would be important to know.

Anyone else notice an issue where my.flightradar24.com does NOT update details after flight, even when enabling the toggle that says "We can update this flight automatically after
departure to complete aircraft type and registration, together with any changes to scheduled times"? Has anyone ever seen this feature actually work?

In fact I have noticed this failure to update several times previously, but had written it off as user error or some other artifact, but most recently I flew DL3811 SLC-SJC on Jan 15th, which at the time I entered the flight, it was assigned to N250SY and my.flightradar24.com correctly pre-filled the info as such. However, eventually the flight ended up actually being operated by N244SY.

FR24 itself agrees with N244SY on Jan 15:

https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/dl3811

but in my log entry at my.FR24 it still shows N250SY even though the flight was completed days ago.

I contacted support, including links to both FR24, and a link to the FlightStats event log showing the tail swap, and got an unhelpful reply back "I checked this flight on Flightradar24 [same FR24 link]. I do not see if the aircraft operating this flight changed. That is why it didn't change on MyFlightradar24 as well." gee, thanks. (I mean, maybe I'm missing something -- does FR24 even show detailed event timeline info like gate changes and tail swaps the way FlightStats does?)

And unfortunately the event data at FlightStats is aged out now (or maybe just not accessible to a free account) so I can't just point them back to that page.

Weird my.Flightradar24 issue with Doha airport

I just noticed that all my flights to or from Doha (DOH) in my.Flightradar24 have been switched to DIA which is the code for the old airport. That airport is currently being used for the World Cup, which might explain why it has suddenly reappeared. But it isn’t the code for the main Hamad Airport (DOH). And the old airport used to be DOH anyway prior to Hamad opening.

I contacted Customer Service but they said that though they’re aware of the issue, there’s nothing they can do. It just seems odd considering Flightradar24 itself is correctly showing flights to and from both airports.

Anyone else seen this?
