How FR8542 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for FR8542 across the STN and CTA boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: left right on schedule but landed about 19 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how FR8542 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
