Plane tracking

[Peteeric]

Why is it when I'm tracking a plane, it sometimes disappears and does not reappear. I've never manged to follow a plane from departure to destination.

Out of range of the persons antenna/computer

The tracking is made of many users with antennas on their roofs/hills and uploading data. When aircraft are at the end of their coverage range the data amount is less and less to the point it no longer gets updates.

When it is within range of another station, it will complete the track with a straight line

Coverage is only as good as the number of people on the ground with stations. See FAQ
