I was asked to lead the algorithm for checking the history of a particular aircraft. I cite.
So for some reason, you decided to move your precious Tulovo from the point A to the point B by air transportation. You are a risky person, and do not mind using the services of domestic carriages. Make sure whether the company you have chosen is also part-time, an office on the acceptance of international scrap metal.
After selecting the airline and ticket, you will need registration number board. (Take to Example Flight Chelyabinsk-Sochi through UTair - doubtful such choice)
We look and choose flight number - UT-556: 
Next, we go to the Flytradar to find out the boarding numbers of the sides that the company uses on this flight
www.flightradar24.com/flight/uT556.
Normal carrier (Aeroflot, for example), usually chases two boards, there here. But our garbage disposal, uses already four different aircraft. (For one note that the aircraft are assigned to Bermudam. You did not think that Yutyr will register his technique in Russia?) 
This is problem. We have two ways. Already at this stage, burn a ticket and go on foot. And the second is to try to understand which board is used in our direction more often.
Clicking here on the number of the ship, we will see the geography of his flights. 
Realizing the logic of chaotic hanging of aircraft between cities (or not understood at all, we simply check all four), we go here:
www.airframes.org/
Foresting the Validol, and begin to watch, where you flew, our annestro, before hospitably opened its doors for us.
We enter reg. Board number in the Registration field /
With horror, we discover that this winged box was incomplete in 1998 (BUILT field)
Now we look at who exploited it before. You did not think that Utyir would kill before buying a new aircraft for us?
Click on the room in the field prev.reg
Ten years of operation in the COA office!
Well, the United States, wherever nothing went. This is not Libya and not Syria. Think, the company is honorable twice bored in the past. Probably, it did not affect the quality of aircraft service, - soothe yourself.
What is the breakdown (incidents) of this board?
We will be interested in the REMARKS field.
Bad Remarks, it will look like a crashing boat craft
Or so: 
Our like nothing:
It means a risk!
Throwing a coin, and drinking four bottles of brandy, bravely make a flight)))

PS.
The people in the comments are indignant - why I consider knowingly unreliable aircraft with a 18-year-old history of operation.
I answer.
1. Have you ever heard that such a company like the Kogalym Avia passed after 10 years of operation of its plane such a company like Lufthansa?
2. Have you heard the year as such as Lufthansa take a plane after 16 years of operation in countries such as Syria, Libya and other admins?
3. Why, despite all authoritative statements about for a long time aircraft operation - 25, 30, 50 (who are more?) years, and also about the fact that they still put even stronger with time (well, everything passed in the same time), in practice in the world, everything somehow passed that Air carriers from civilized countries prefer to use an aircraft 8-12 years old, and then still send it to Congo, Nigeria or Russia?
4. Would you like to fly on an airplane, which for example damaged the tail when landing?
After you honestly answer these questions, I think the problem will disappear by itself. If it does not disappear, I will only add that the matter is not quite on the service life (although of course, too, too), but also in that place where this operation was held, as well as exactly how she passed. You will be able to find out this post. Well, then you can already decide.
On PlaneCrashInfo.com and Airsafe.com enthusiasts-airlords collected all the statistics on aircidaters for 50 years and made conclusions. The most reliable is the Boeing 767 and Airbus 340.
Find your board
Go to FlightRadar24.com and find your flight, indicated by the code from letters and numbers (for example, TK0415). And now look at the history of this flight for the week. Usually, one flight flies several aircraft with different registration numbers, looking like a set of letters (for example, TC-JTK, TC-JSP). On one of these aircraft you will fly.
Check your board
Go to the airframes.org and enter the possible registration number of your aircraft in the Registration Count. Find in the BUILT and REMARKS fields that appeared. So you will learn how much the plane of the years and, most importantly, where he used to fly and serviced - drove burghers from Oktoberfest or refugees from Mogadishu.
Check your board again
Now go to PlanesPotters.net and VBE registration number in the search. In the results of searching the Remarks field. There are incidents in which the plane visited. If he was damaged by the tail, it is a bad symptom. There were cases when such devices re-enter serious alterations.
Aeroflot - MGA USSR
In the Soviet Union, the ministry was engaged in the transportation of passengers on a commercial basis Civil aviation - MGA.
Structural MGA consisted of several controls ( UGA), mainly tied to certain territories. In each of the Republics of the USSR, their management were in each republics, and in Russia there were several of them - in view of the large size of the country.
Each of the controls consisted of air carpentry (JSC or JSC), and those in turn - from flight units (LU). In the register, the operators are indicated hierarchically: MGA -\u003e Tajik UGA -\u003e Dushanbinsky OJSC -> 186 Lo.
Aeroflot - This is a collective name for MGA along with all its departments and airways.
Each aircraft carrier existed and developed relatively regardless of others. An exemplary analogue of aircraft carriers today is airlines - of course, with amendment for a while.
When Aeroflot broke up into independent airlines in 1991-93, most of them became the heirs of those and lo. For example, Saratovsky OJSC Volga UGA turned into an airline " Saratov Airlines", and Sheremetyevsky OJSC - In "Aeroflot - Russian Airlines" (assigning a general brand "Aeroflot").
This page presents the structure of the MGA in the form of a chart. It should be borne in mind that during the existence of MGA many of the controls were reformed, created and redeemed.
The diagram presented does not reflect the structure of the MGA at a particular date, rather, it shows the maximum extensive "tree" of all units that existed in the entire history of MGA. This is done as for the convenience of quick search and clarity. A more detailed history of each of the controls and aircraft carriers is in the relevant sections on the links. The names of the UIG and AO in this table are presented mainly as of the end of the 1980s.
On the side rooms Aeroflot airplanes and helicopters. All the boards operated in the MGA carried the onboard number of the type of USSR-85005, five digits were unique at each specific point in time. Periodically, the on-board written off Suns could be assigned to the new Sun.
The first two digits, in the general case, determined the type of aircraft. For example, 85xxxx - Tu-154, 42xxx - Yak-42 (and earlier - Tu-104), a complete list of such ranges, see the appropriate section.
On departmental sides. Registration numbers of the type of USSR-XXXXX were used not only in the aeropholot, but also in the Air Force, KGB, MAP, and other ministries and departments. Often, for the purpose of conspiracy, such boards were even painted in the white-blue livery and carried the inscription "Aeroflot" with the symbolism of MGA. There are no strict rules about this, onboard knocked out of the general sequence, and in many sides, you can find out only according to registries. Such boards
Ascending on a journey by plane, many are tormented by such questions as a liner brand, on which to fly, his age. Answers to them Many would like to know as for confidence in their safety, and in order to choose comfortable spot when registering. Not always on the airline's website you can find accurate information. But you should not be upset, knowing the flight number you can clarify a lot. For example, get an answer to the question: "How to find out what a plane by flight number".
Booking a ticket and receiving it in electronic form by mail, you can learn from it and flight number, it will look about the way QF 8132 or SU 0102. Another way to find out the number of your flight you can, enter the Yandex-schedule service. It is necessary in the appropriate form to dial the city of departure / arrival and the system will give you options. Knowing time, you definitely define the flight number. It can also be found by looking at the table online the right airport On his official website. In extreme cases, your route number can be found by calling the airport reference service. Now find out how to find out the type of aircraft by flight number
Determine the type of aircraft by flight number
Each airline tries to attract as many passengers as possible to its flights, offering them all new services, waving their doubts. Knowing that most passengers are worried about their safety, and want to find out what a plane will be on the flight number, airlines are developing special additional services. For example, Aeroflot's airline has developed new option online tabloWhere the possibility of flight number to know:
- departure / arrival time;
- type of liner;
- number of seats in various service classes other information.
In the form, choose the date of our flight and enter the layer, in the window that opens, we will see the details of the flight: the type of machine, the number of places in different classes, the name of the aircraft (in Aeroflote all the liners are in honor of some outstanding person etc.).
Online scoreboard Aeroflot
Other services to determine the type of aircraft
If you do not find the right service on the official website of your airline, and do not understand how to find out the type of aircraft by flight number, we advise you to contact other resources. For example, at http://avia.pro you can find out the type of aircraft by flight number and airline. To do this, there is a simple form on the resource in which the type of airline, the flight number and click the "Search" button. The system will issue detailed information About this flight:
Real-time observation
Knowing the flight number, you can watch it in real time on services such as Flaigtradar 24, Plane Finder, Flaigt Aware, if the appropriate navigation equipment is installed on the aircraft. You can find out not only the type of machine, but also the speed and height of the flight, but it is already possible to do it if the liner is in flight.
Today we will start a story about the most important sites that every advanced air passenger needs to know. Network resources such as airline sites, tickets on tickets and online agencies we will leave for later, and now it will be about how to learn the maximum details about your current, upcoming or past flight.
- Unique online radar, showing real-time, where, when and where what is the plane. The data on aircraft is taken from the transponders of the ADS-B system, which are equipped with pretty a large number of sides (alas, not all, but at least most modern). These transponders transmit the aircraft registration number, the flight number, route, current coordinates, including height, and speed. All this data is displayed on the map, you can click on each moving plane and further see the flight path to the current moment and information about the board itself (its photo is loaded with one of the reference resources). You can also view this information about the flights performed in the nearby past. Of the interesting features, you should select the ability to view "from the pilots' cab. No, broadcast from the camera you are there, unfortunately, you will not see, but satellite images of the Earth in an isometric projection, taking into account height and speed, look beautiful. Since ADS-B signal receivers from which the data is taken are set by enthusiasts, coverage of different territories globe FlightRadar24 - inhomogeneous. However, in most "civilized" places it is.
Practical benefit: find out what boards usually fly on the route you need. Find out when the plane arrives on which you must fly away, and why he is late. Make sure your relatives are excellent. To see what beautiful you saw in the porthole shortly after takeoff.
– an extensive database on aircraft: both completely new and long been written off in the pit. On the registration number of the board, you can learn all the details about it - starting from the age and history of operation in various airlines (including details such as direct purchase or leasing) to the types of engines installed on it and layouts of the cabin (number of places of economic and business classes). Also displayed recently perfect flights, however, these data are entered manually noted by board with spotters, and not automatically taken from the same FLIGHTRADAR24, so their relevance is not always one hundred percent. In addition, there is data and on airframes in which board participated is usually with reference to an article with details. And, of course, photos - where without them?
Also on the site is the database on airlines, allowing you to see how much each of them has aircraft and what. Airfleets.net works on the principle of crowdsourcing, that is, as in Wikipedia, anyone can add or clarify this or that information. But if on airfleets.net, the bases are carried out mainly by foreign cars (from Russian only "Superjet"), then Russianplanes.net -a similar site dedicated to domestic aircraft.
Practical benefit:find out how old the board on which you are flying to casually throw a neighbor-Aerofoba: "" and watch his reaction. Related the age of the aircraft and the state of the cabin to draw up their opinion on the attitude of the airline to its passengers. Frequency where there may be good places in the cabin. Write on Twitter: "I am flying on the plane, which only yesterday came from the factory."
– website with straight broadcasts of negotiations between pilots and air traffic. Supported by enthusiasts living near airports and installed on the necessary frequencies of radio receivers. In this regard, not all airports of the world are supported, but the largest, including Russian, is there in the database. You can listen to the ether directly on the site through the Flash support browser or transfer the stream to any media player. There are also negotiation archives.
As a rule, for each airport, several streams from different frequencies ("circle", "tower", "approach", etc.) are combined into one, and voice messages from them are broadcast one after another, which creates some confusion on the air. For some airports (for example, Sheremetyevo), flows are separated by stereochanals, allowing partially filtered what you will hear. However, there is little negotiations to hear - in order to understand something, it is necessary to at least approximately know the basic principles of radio exchange and basic terminology, and also have any experience of negotiations on the radio to disassemble the text.
For many airports, current weather is also transmitted in Metar format - an ordinary person will not understand anything in such a summary, but it is enough to read any article on this topic to learn a set of non-hard cuts.
Practical benefit:be aware why departure or arrival of the flight is delayed. If an unusual situation occurs in the flight, find out what happened at all.
– website with detailed plans of salons of aircraft of various airlines. Moreover, in addition to actually, the places are also visible especially comfortable and, on the contrary, uncomfortable places: It is clear that stretch your feet emergency exit It is always more pleasant than to join the toilet.
In addition, the database contains information about the distance between the rows and the width of the seats themselves, the availability of sockets and entertainment systems, which is especially relevant on distant flights. Moreover, if you enter information about your flight (date, number), the site will try to predict what type of aircraft will be used on it - it will help choose good places in advance. However, if the airline has many variations of the same type (for example, Airbus A319 / A320 / A321), the predictor is usually mistaken, so it is impossible to blindly trust.
In addition, the SeatGuru website contains not so many airlines (from Russian - only Aeroflot), and for those that are presented, there are not all actually existing layout options, so as an alternative must be visited Seatexpert -here the set of airlines varies slightly and there is, for example, "Transaero".
Practical benefit:select a convenient place when you can enter or register at the airport. Compare different airlines in the comfort level in the cabin.
EXPERTFLYER -multifunctional site for advanced passengers, on which most functions (for example, a search for "Mili" tickets) are paid - by the way, we will tell about the search for such tickets separately - and you can view current plans on it in real time with real-time . At the same time, data on the attractiveness of this or that place is loaded with SeatGuru. You can also subscribe to notifications that this or that place that interests you has become suddenly affordable. Supports, of course, not all airlines.
Practical benefit:choose a good place when registering at a rack at the airport: you know exactly which of good seats Free and call it to the operator. Assessing the fullness of the cabin before departure and estimate, can you count on an upgrade when overbooking or immediately go and go to a free row.
– website that allows you to keep the statistics of your flights, display a place on a map where you were, and routes between them, consider how much you already flying segments this year. But the main thing is the "puzomerka": you can compete with friends who larger more.
The main advantage of Jetlovers compared to other similar sites is that all flight statistics accumulates automatically based on your "Chekins" in social networks - Foursquare or Facebook. You can, however, add flights and manually, but firstly, they cannot be added more than it was automatically determined (i.e., only one without checks can be added to each flight), and secondly, how can I remember everything Flights, say, in the year before last?
For a raid, certain "titles" and "levels" are accrued - from "flies" to "UFO", turning flights on airplanes to an exciting game - now even 300 kilometers you will not want to go by train! But if you want to be the first in the ranking - do not add to friends those who work by pilots of commercial airlines 😉
Practical benefit:check for all the flight segments you are credited with miles. Show your friends and colleagues who are the most important day.
