I expected the link with tailno that I posted above to show my last flight - VFR w/FF, but instead showed one considerably older, which I suspect was an IFR flight. I'm guessing it's IFR only?SkyHog said:The odd thing, no matter where I go, regardless of how high, FF or not, I never show up in FlightAware.

Interesting. I see three of our planes listed there, none of which is me, thankfully. I got to sleep in.gkainz said:Holy moley ... look at the conga line departing Centennial KAPA
Bill Jennings said:You have to have filed a VFR flight plan to get into the system, and have opened the flight plan, and have FF. I have had VFR flights tracked by flightaware, but only when all of the above conditions are met.

File VFR Flight Plan
Open VFR FLight Plan
Got Flight Following
Handed off from Approach to Center
Handed off from Center to another Center
Flew through Class B airspace
Was at about 11500 The whole way

Also, on my IFR flight from MRF to ADS yesterday, the Flightaware track shows only the portion of the flight (about the last third) from when they assigned me a new squawk code; I suspect that, in the FAA's system, it looked like a new flight.
