Time Patterns
Departures by Hour (UTC) ?How flights distribute across the 24 hours of the day (UTC). Reveals peak flying windows. Source: Tailstrike ~100% · VATSIM ~100%.
Flights by Day of Week ?Departure count per weekday (UTC). Shows whether flying peaks on weekends or weekdays. Source: Tailstrike ~100% · VATSIM ~100%.
Departure Hour × Weekday ?Combined view of hour-of-day (columns) and day-of-week (rows). Darker = more flights at that slot. Identifies the busiest flying windows across the week. Source: Tailstrike ~100% · VATSIM ~100%.
Flight Profiles
Duration Distribution ?Flights bucketed by total duration from departure to arrival. Covers all flights with a recorded start and end time. Source: Tailstrike ~100% · VATSIM ~100%.
Distance Distribution ?Flights bucketed by great-circle distance between origin and destination. Requires valid coordinates for both airports. Source: Tailstrike ~95% · VATSIM ~80%.
Fleet Analysis
Aircraft Category Breakdown ?Proportional split by aircraft size category (L = light, M = medium, H = heavy, J = super). Sourced from the TSK aircraft database. Source: Tailstrike 100% · VATSIM 0%.
Avg Flight Duration by Type ?Average flight duration per ICAO type code. Only types with 3+ flights are shown. TSK has full type data; VATSIM uses the pilot's filed flight plan (may be missing). Source: Tailstrike ~100% · VATSIM ~60%.
Top Airports & Routes
Top Airports ?Most visited airports counting both departures and arrivals. Each appearance as dep or arr scores separately. Source: Tailstrike ~100% · VATSIM ~100%.
Top Routes ?Most frequently flown city-pairs. Directional: EGLL→EGKK and EGKK→EGLL count as two distinct routes. Source: Tailstrike ~100% · VATSIM ~100%.
Aircraft & Airlines
Top Aircraft Types ?Most common ICAO type codes. Tailstrike: from the aircraft database. VATSIM: from the pilot's filed flight plan (may be missing). Source: Tailstrike ~100% · VATSIM ~60%.
Top Airlines ?Most common airline operators. Tailstrike: from aircraft database. VATSIM: derived from the first 3 letters of the callsign (e.g. BAW from BAW123). Source: Tailstrike ~100% · VATSIM ~70%.
Notable Flights
Longest Flights ?Top 10 flights by great-circle distance. Requires valid coordinates for both origin and destination airports. Source: Tailstrike ~95% · VATSIM ~80%.
Top Speed — Time Dilation Leaderboard ?Average speed = distance ÷ duration. Values above 600 kt (shown in amber ⚠) likely indicate sim time acceleration. Source: Tailstrike ~95% · VATSIM ~80%.
