Here's how to begin tracking a flight with FsACARS:

1. Dispatch your desired flight from the website, either as a charter, tour, event, or scheduled flight
2. Launch FsACARS and go to the **Dispatch** tab

5. The **Main** or **Dispatch** tabs are excellent for monitoring your tracking status during your flight. The **Dispatch** screen, in particular, will show you live flight data. You should also start seeing your flight live on the Canada Air Virtual website, as well as in tools such as Little Nav Map.
