Missing flights from scenic flights on history but can be found on playback

[BarTender]

I had a weird issue today with a scenic flight today that showed up without the flight history for ZK-BAC

There were two flights today that I found via playback. Spaces added so that it won't complain that I am a bot spamming.

www . flightradar24 . com / 2024-03-16 / 22:50 / 1x / STRK / 346497fd

www . flightradar24 . com / 2024-03-17 / 00:38 / 1x / STRK / 3464d149

And then if I try and link to either of the above I get:

www . flightradar24 . com / STRK / 346497fd
www . flightradar24 . com / STRK / 3464d149

but the above two links don't come up, and there doesn't seem to be a way to download a KML or playback the flight.

Is this because it's not linked back to a particular aircraft?

It use to be completely blocked.
The trade off now is (or presumably owner asked) to hide history.

Strk being the type code. Which is normally replaced as the type/only details seen when live for blocked ones.

It's in the dbase. That's how it gets the type code. But prevents history.

No. Tracking is blocked at the request of the owner. You may see it on the map when it's flying, but if so it will only show the type and type code. All other details will be n/a,

Thanks for that, I hadn't known that individual owners could block reporting on flight radar. Would be good to know that on the ZK-BAC page as there isn't anything on there to show that it is being intentionally blocked

Found the two flights on Flight Aware so... 🤷
