Hi

Flightaware doesn't have any movements for TF-AAK
Anyone know why?

It would be ADSB equiped wouldn't it?

Not sure why it can't be tracked by the registration, maybe its blocked?

However it can be tracked on flightaware by its callsign 'CC666 or ABD666'.

Hopefully they can repair it before the trip to Aus.
