Synonym request for [flightradar24] -> [online-radar]

Question

I'm trying to suggest a synonym for flightradar24 -> online-radar, but I'm getting this error message:

Since this cannot be suggested, but it can be added outright by a mod, Bret suggested that the community make a decision on it. Thoughts?

Here are two other questions on MSO with the same error message:

Well, considering that they aren't technically using radar, I don't particularly like this synonymn anyway.

Maybe a generic tag like online-flight-tracking or even just flight-tracking would be better (do we even need to specify "online"?)?

$\begingroup$ I like flight-tracking. I'm not sure we need a tag for flightradar24 at all, and if we do, it probably should not be a synonym with flight-tracking. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ "Flight tracking" also encompasses when I go to the airport and look at the big ol' board of flights and see which ones are 5 minutes delayed, in addition to the much more aviation-y ADS-B tracking. Is this intentional? $\endgroup$
