How FB471 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for FB471 across the SOF and MAD boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left right on schedule but landed about 19 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how FB471 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
