TAR 21 Speculation and Discussion **of Spoilers**
DrRox:
FlightStats and FlightAware both use the same GPS/radar tracking data when it is avialable. In this part of the world, that data is not available. So both use the information supplied by the airline. The arrival is only estimated by China Airlines and that is what both tracking systems uses.
Flight Stats times are based on gate arrivals and gate departures.
Flight Aware times are based on wheels up and wheels down on the runway. So there will always be a discrepency between the two estimates.
As far as China Airlines 752 today, Flight Aware will amend its records to reflect the time reported for wheels down by the control tower and Flight Stats will report the gate arrival time posted by China Airlines.
In a flight of 2 hours and 20 minutes, it is pretty easy to make up the lost time at departure.
Changi Airport reported wheels down at 9:09 am.
Gate Arrival reported at 9:17 am.

so has singapore been confirmed as just a stopover, or could there be a leg in singapore?
redwings8831:
I'm thinking Singapore is just a connection point. The flight has been down for 2.5 hours and if there were teams running through Singapore we'd have at least a couple tweets/sightings.
Jobby:
Yes. -_-
So don't pass the wrong information and tell me that Singapore is Leg 4 and go catch the race. I think they flew to Singapore but barely stayed for some time only.
JordanJones123:
This is all in the air but having flown to singapore from perth last year, I know that flights from singapore to perth are very frequent, and having not seen the teams in a while, i presume teams would have been in the air for about 3 hours... it is a 5 hour flight to perth... if it is found out that teams are in perth, somebody message me because i know a family who are going to be at perth airport all day! and if they have a long leg in perth, ill be a detective!
again, all spec^
