Can you see the pilot's names to track a flight?

Question

I want to find my dad's flight, but I don't know exactly what plane he is on. I've given up asking him all the time. (he is a pilot)

Answer 1

You can call the regulation office (the one's who make the pilots schedule). If you tell them you're his son and you can convince them, they'll tell you what flight your dad is on.

One time my husband took a flight (not his scheduled flight, and he wasn't reserve - he did it because they were short of pilots that day) and when he hadn't come home within 10 hours I called his regulation. They told me he was stuck in Barcelona with bad weather and wouldn't be able to get back until the next day, and that as soon as they got his hotel accommodations figured out, he'd be able to call me.

Answer 2

No, not by his name.

fboweb.com is an inexpensive flight tracker. So long as the airplane has an instrument flight plan, and you know the tail number (for private or charter,) flights or the flight number for commercial flights, for about $10/month you can track flights with a 5 minute delay.

This won't cover "blocked" flights, which refer to security concerned people on charters, corporate or private planes that don't want their flights tracked for publicity reasons. There are some sites that claim to offer showing even blocked flights, but they're significantly more expensive.

So, for $10/mo, you can track aircraft registry Nxxxxx, or select an airline and track the flight number. Or you can hemorrage cash to try to track "blocked" flights.

But yeah, unless he's flying celebs, the ultrarich and paranoid, it' shouldn't be too hard to track him if you can get the info out of him before he takes off.

Happy Tracking.

Answer 3

I don't think there is anyway to track a flight by the pilots name. On flightaware you can track by the airline and where they are going, so you may be able to figure it out that way.

Hope this helps and good luck!

Answer 4

There are sites where you can enter the n number and it will show you the flight path if it is instrument, which it most likely will be.

Answer 5

Nope... get his flight itinerary from him before he leaves... or if he flies corporate ask him the N-number of the Aircraft he will be flying.

Answer 6

The only way I know of is if you know the tail number or flight number try Flight Aware..........

Answer 7

not unless you talk to his employer, who naturally will not give you that information. So no there isn't

Answer 8

no it would be a security risk
