I've noticed a few of these in the last couple of days. Anyone care to explain the significance or have I missed something?aca34.jpg

Updated web page...
I'll hazard a guess, it's where FR24 dont have the primary data for the aircraft plot - it shows where the data has come from the FAA, etc.
It will be interesting to see what is shown where you gat a flight that goes from FR24 monitored space through an area where FR24 have no data before re-appearing (Johannesburg to Sydney for example)

Originally posted by airnrail View PostThe Air Canada flight in my earlier screen shot seems to bear out that theory. The flight is within FR24 range up to a couple of hundred kms from east coast of Australia, disappears until it is picked up briefly by either or both of Noumea and Vanuatu feeders then is gone again until it appears hours later south of Hawaii on FAA. Depending on route it may re-appear on FR24 close to Hawaii then back to FAA until close to Vancouver where it is picked up by FR24 receivers either in Canada or USA. The dashed line seems to appear only between Noumea/Vanuatu and where FAA coverage starts.Last edited by North Borneo Radar; 2014-08-09, 01:20.

Fredrik talked about it on this page.
Flightradar24 shows gaps with a dotted line.
FlightAware began drawing gap areas with a white line instead of its regular green flight-path line
There are limitations in the flight-tracking data. FlightAware and Flightradar24 have gaps in radar coverage areas. That forces their computers to make assumptions about flight paths that can make a flight appear to pass over an area—North Korea, for example—when it actually skirted around it. United Flight 976 from Washington's Dulles International Airport to Dubai looks like it passes over northern Syria on FlightAware, but each day it actually skirts the Syrian border to the north and travels down the Iraq-Iran border to the Persian Gulf. Flightradar24 shows the path avoiding Syria

When you lookup a flight IE http://www.flightradar24.com/data/fl...nz888/#406e6c3 and select it using the wee plane icon at the end. You'll see dashes.Posts not to be taken as official support representation - Just a helpful uploader who tinkers
