Engagement
A typical post picks up 426 interactions against 2.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.019%. Measured over 82 original posts, its engagement rate beats 56% of 3,758 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 82K times each, and 0.518% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.68% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 77% of days. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 82 posts sampled, 93% carry an image or video and 76% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 24K interactions, about 56x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #lh430, #af344, #lx9.

Compared with accounts its own size
Flightradar24's engagement rate beats 56% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 40% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

At 0.019%, Flightradar24 sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,378 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.012% to 0.08%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 15:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

The aviation community may be global, but it is tight-knit. Help us rally around Brazilian aviation’s @avioesemusicas who has been diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. A pilot in Texas paid Lito this honor. To learn more about Lito’s situation: https://t.co/ACKN4UHgBr https://t.co/OoIYkdFHi7

Earlier today, Airlink performed a pre-match flyover at DHL Stadium in Cape Town. Our lowest recorded ADS-B altitude was 50 ft at standard pressure, or approximately 205–210 ft AMSL when corrected for the local QNH of 1019 hPa. With DHL Stadium standing about 164 ft tall near sea level, that puts the aircraft roughly 41–46 ft (12.5–14 m) above the top of the stadium.

Just after midnight, a pair of American Airlines flights with the same call sign were on the same frequency near Phoenix. Call sign confusion has resulted in previous incidents, but thankfully ATC and the pilots were able to resolve the situation. https://t.co/D3pBS430Ev

- What is Flightradar24's engagement rate on X?
- Flightradar24 (@flightradar24) has an engagement rate of 0.019%, based on the median interactions across 82 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,229,792 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.019%, Flightradar24 sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,378 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @flightradar24 have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 56% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @flightradar24 post?
- Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.5 posts per day across the measured window.
