How FR5685 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for FR5685 across the EDI and MAD boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left heavily delayed (~133 min) but landed noticeably late (~23 min). Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how FR5685 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
