Narrative:
We have had continuing problems [with] our flight tracking software. It was not properly displaying the correct position of the flights and it was showing flight proceeding into thunderstorms with tops of 60;000 feet and not on the filed route I put him on.after pulling up flightaware I noticed that he was not in the position shown on fusion but 200nm away on the flight plan he was filed on.there has been too many problems with the reliability of fusion and we should not be using software that is inaccurate and potentially unsafe if we are not properly flight following.
