I'm a big fan of APRS and have a tracker in my plane. I also help others setup iGates. However, I was reminded over the weekend that APRS is an amateur radio activity and comes with no commercial guarantees.
Here is an image that shows a few examples of how APRS could lead to the wrong conclusion. The upper left was 14 hours old, suggesting the plane fell out of the sky. The lower left suggests the plane was flying at 4:30AM. The image on the right suggests the plane was zig zagging (perhaps flying hammer heads ?).
