Every ADS-B-tracked flight visualized in this print, captured over 5 days.

PHX logged 6,017 flights across five days in mid-July 2025, averaging 1,203 flights per day and 50 movements per hour around the clock. Arrivals and departures split nearly evenly at 2,980 and 3,037 respectively. The 5-day window captured 1,658 unique aircraft and over 5.4 million individual ADS-B position points. Traffic ran continuously from midnight to midnight each day, with the quietest stretch falling between 3:00 and 5:00 MST, when hourly totals dropped into the mid-to-high twenties. The single busiest hour was 17:00 MST with 405 movements, 219 of them arrivals. A secondary peak appeared at 7:00 MST with 397 total movements. Thursday July 17 was the busiest individual day at 1,290 flights. Denver led all routes with 208 combined movements, followed by Los Angeles at 202 and Seattle at 185. Las Vegas, San Diego, Salt Lake City, Dallas-Fort Worth, Orange County, Chicago O'Hare, and San Francisco rounded out the top ten. The dominant approach and departure corridor was ENE, accounting for roughly 700 movements each way, with W and E directions taking the next two spots. Southern headings were the least represented across both arrival and departure tracks. The fleet was overwhelmingly U.S.-registered at 1,606 of 1,658 unique aircraft, with Canadian registrations accounting for 34 more. Cruise altitudes clustered heavily between 36,000 and 39,000 feet, where the four busiest 1,000-foot bands all exceeded 200,000 ADS-B samples. The average tracked altitude across all points was 18,918 feet, pulled down by the high density of low-altitude points during climb and descent. One aircraft reached 49,375 feet. Average groundspeed across the dataset was 290 knots, with a maximum of 690.6 knots recorded. Total distance flown across all tracked legs came to roughly 4.7 million nautical miles, with an average leg distance of 782 nautical miles and an average duration of 132.5 minutes.
