Hi Skyliner & Rahal, could you please shed some light on the above.

I overheard it's going to fly in Europe but not sure about the accuracy of the information. ADE is in the last phase of lease return check and it is supposed to conclude by 05th of October. However usually it takes at least 3-5 days more than expected as these are pretty old aircrafts. Then we have the visit of owner and the next buyer of the aircraft. They point out their findings and then again minor maintenance should be carried out to fix them.
Hopefully everything will be finalised by the second week of October.
Cheers

Yes AviatorSN It's only visible under MLAT coverage. You can see from the screenshot i took in few weeks ago, i was tracking flights even before 4R-ALO got airborne that day and the aircraft was not visible until the exact point in the screenshot.

ADS-B is increasingly mandatory as well. No reason not to have this installed on a new build aircraft.
FR24 database probably hasn't been updated - this is the most likely issue.Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

As promised I did some digging on this. I've spoken with an avionics engineer and his idea was most probably the FR24 database is not updated. He said the 'T3CAS' system has a significant difference in ALO so probably that might be the cause. ( read more about Thales T3CAS : https://www.thalesgroup.com/en/world...erospace/t3cas )
ADS-B is not essential for FR24 tracking, our old aircrafts are not equipped with that anyway.
