About 577.2 metric tons of CO₂ over 49 tracked flights and 134 hours in the air. We start with the flight times from public ADS-B data. We multiply each hour by the maker's fuel burn figure. Then we apply the EPA standard of 9.57 kg of CO₂ per gallon of jet fuel.
Yes. The FAA requires planes with transponders to broadcast their position over ADS-B, and the signal is not encrypted. We collect that public data from adsb.lol and ADSB.fi, two open flight-tracking networks. News outlets and university researchers use the same kind of data. Our methodology page explains how it works.
