• Important Terms to know before using online
  flight tracker
• Before exploring how to track aircraft, it is
  important to go over some terminology. Below is a
  glossary of the terms that we will be working
  with throughout the rest of this guide
• Depending on what you want to do, you may choose
  to concentrate on an aircraft's call sign,
  registration, or MSN. The flight's call sign is
  all you need to track a loved one's flight if
  they are visiting you. The registration will be
  helpful to you if you're attempting to confirm
  whether a flight registered to an individual was
  in a particular location at a particular time.
  Last but not least, knowing an aircraft's MSN
  will enable you to follow its ownership history
  over time.

• Different online flight tracker websites
• There are many websites that allow you to track
  planes, both in real time and through archived
  flight data. As with any other open source
  programme, it is recommended to visit several
  websites because one of them may include more
  information than the others. Your choice of
  website for your default tracking page will be
  influenced by a number of elements, such as
  subscription costs and preferred interfaces.
  These websites typically provide the same
  services and information types, but when you use
  them you may discover that you personally favour
  one over the others.

• There are occasions when a website does not have
  the flight you are looking for. There may not be
  a record for that aircraft on that website, but
  there may be other factors at play. A flight that
  isn't listed on one page can be listed on another
  since each website is "fed" by a separate
  community of receivers. Sometimes, for a variety
  of reasons, people or governments will ask that
  these websites not display their flights. Keep in
  mind that this could lead to flights being
  deleted from the website while you complete your
  research.

• All of the websites listed below (with the
  exception of adsbexchange.com) have tier-based
  membership plans, including a free basic tier
  that displays live air traffic as well as
  bare-bones flight information and historical
  flight data. The free basic tier will typically
  have all the data you require for a flight. The
  choice will probably come down to how far back in
  time you need historical flight data if you want
  to subscribe to a subscription tier for online
  flight tracker.
