Are you using C# with WCF?

If my understand is correct, original WSDL does not have method GetInflightStatusAsync.
I think the method was generate by WCF. You can open WSDL file with
SOAP UI to see original SOAP methods provided by TRTH service.

Normally if you add WCF Service Reference, .NET
automatically generate method end with Async keyword for using with Async/Await
feature (asynchronous call). It could help in many case for example when
calling the method in UI/Web interface and it take long time to get the result.
Please find more details about Async/Await from MSDN.

However if you want to try the method the
following small console example codes might help.

class Program
    {
      static void Main(string[] args)
      {
            try
            {
		System.Console.WriteLine("Get Inflight Status...");	
                var T = GetInflight();
                T.Wait();
                System.Console.WriteLine("Inflight Active/Limit={0}/{1}", 
                T.Result.status.active, T.Result.status.limit);      
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                System.Console.WriteLine("Exception: {0}", e.Message);
            }
      }

      static async Task<TRTHService.GetInflightStatusResponse> GetInflight()
       {
          TRTHService.TRTHApiClient client = new TRTHService.TRTHApiClient();
          TRTHService.CredentialsHeader cred = 
          new TRTHService.CredentialsHeader() { username = "<Username>", 
                                                password = "<Password>" };
          client.CleanUp(ref cred);
          return await client.GetInflightStatusAsync(cred);     
       }
    }

Output
Get Inflight Status...
Inflight Active/Limit=0/50
