What this page cannot tell you
- Presence is not purpose, and it is not occupancy. No ADS-B record places any person aboard any aircraft.
- An absent day is not an absent aircraft. Volunteer receiver coverage is uneven, and a jet parked with its transponder off is invisible. Absence here is a coverage fact.
- 2022 is effectively blank — no free archive covers it.
