When a plane is bound to take off it accompanied many things such as flight type, name or flight number with definite altitude. A tag shows flight number, speed and altitude, plane took off and landing time.
These are all measured by the flight tracker. The arrival time shown on the monitor is not just printed from the timetable actually it is calculated on plane's real speed. The system can show everything plane's speed its arrival time and even the condition of the flight during bad weather. It gives much more detailed view.
