How AS686 actually runs
Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for AS686 across the DEN and PDX boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 1 completed leg so far: left about 7 min early but landed about 24 min early. Not enough to call it.
The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how AS686 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
