Track your Federal Air flight

Frequently asked questions

How do I track my Federal Air flight?

Enter the flight number at the top of this page, for example 7V1234. You will see the status, expected time, gate and terminal. If the aircraft is airborne right now, it also appears on the map above.

What do 7V and FDR mean?

7V is the code on your ticket and in the flight number. FDR is the callsign the crew uses on the radio and the code the aircraft shows on radar.

Which airlines fly the same routes as Federal Air?

On 1 connections you will also find Comair Flight Services, on 1 Out Of The Blue Air Safaris and on 1 Petroleos Mexicanos. Useful if you are looking for an alternative on the same route.

My flight is not on the map. Why not?

The map shows aircraft that are airborne right now and broadcasting their position. An aircraft still at the gate or just landed broadcasts nothing and will not appear. Coverage matters too: positions come from volunteer-run ADS-B receivers, and there are gaps over oceans and sparsely populated regions. Search by flight number instead: that page works even when the aircraft is on the ground or briefly out of range.

Where does this data come from?

Connections are derived from observed callsign routes and are not an official schedule: they say nothing about which days a route operates. Positions on the map come from ADS-B receivers. Flight status, gate and terminal come from the airports themselves.
