How AS1500 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for AS1500 across the PDX and SMF boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 1 completed leg so far: left about 6 min early but landed about 17 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how AS1500 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
