How LX52 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for LX52 across the ZRH and BOS boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Usually lands ~28 min early. Based on 2 confirmed landings · 2/2 within 15 min of schedule. Pushes back late but makes up time in the air.
