Tracking husband's flight from UK. Tracker says "0 altitude." Should I be worried? |

1. That usually means it hasn't left the ground yet or it's not getting a valid altitude input. |

It does say "in flight." He's just about to enter Canadian air space, I think - maybe the altitude will show up then.

8. If there were anything seriously wrong, you wouldn't get any data period. |

Hope the rest of his return is safe and uneventful!

It only works for the US and Europe, as far as I know.

WebTrax is predominantly a US & Canadian Flight Tracking application. Trans-Atlantic, Trans-Pacific, and Central/South American flights may contain errors in the data because of lack of transoceanic radar coverage once the flight leaves FAA tracking range. If necessary, check with the Airline.
