FlightCaster can predict your probability of delay hours before the airline or any other app notifies you. FlightCaster uses a patent-pending algorithm that scours data on every domestic flight for the past 10-years and matches it to real-time conditions.
For best results, start using FlightCaster 4-6 hours before your flight. Make sure you’ve loaded the app on your BlackBerry or iPhone and then add your flight into the saved flights feature. FlightCaster will evaluate your probability of a delay. If “On-Time” is greater than 75%, then your flight actually has a lower probability than average for being delayed.
How does FlightCaster work?
FlightCaster takes data from multiple sources – some historical, some real-time – and crunches them in a database with a patent-pending algorithm and process. FlightCaster use 10-years of flight data along with current and near-term forecasted conditions to establish likely delay factors and assess the impact they will have on your flight. Its results are based on predicted arrival delays – when you will pull into your arrival gate.
FlightCaster uses data from:
- FAA Bureau of Transportation Statistics
- FAA Air Traffic Control System Command Center
- FlightStats
- National Weather Service
Given the complexity of its analysis and reliance on high quality data, FlightCaster is purely United States domestic flights at this time.
