US Army Priority Air Transport tracker: fleet & flights live

Over the last 90 days we recorded 68 different jets under the ICAO callsign PAT, 68 of them also in the last 30 days. The actual fleet may be larger: jets out of receiver range, in maintenance or flying under a different callsign are not counted.

According to the ICAO designator list published by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of the Army, Priority Air Transport (Davison Aviation Command) is registered in Fort Belvoir, VA, United States. The list records the three-letter ICAO code, country and radio callsign of every operator.

US Army Priority Air Transport flies under the ICAO callsign PAT; on the radio the crew identifies as "PAT". On flight-tracking maps the callsign shows up as the code plus a flight number, e.g. PAT123 — that is how we attribute flights to the operator.

The types we recorded most often under the US Army Priority Air Transport callsign over the last 90 days: Beechcraft King Air 200/250 (55 jets) and Cessna Citation V/Ultra/Encore (13 jets).

Most departures and arrivals in the last 30 days were at Fort Belvoir (KDAA, 79 movements), Wrightstown (KWRI, 50 movements) and Los Alamitos (KSLI, 45 movements). The busiest route of the last 90 days was Wrightstown → Fort Belvoir (5 flights).

In the last 30 days the recorded flights emitted an estimated 1,527 t of CO₂ over 1,453.1 flight hours; year to date it is 1,527 t from 738 flights. The estimate multiplies the typical fuel burn of the aircraft class by flight time and 3.16 kg of CO₂ per kg of jet fuel.
