How AS501 actually runs
Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for AS501 across the SFO and SAN boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 1 completed leg so far: left a little late (~12 min) but landed about 11 min early. Not enough to call it.
The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how AS501 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
