Dotted line is potential path. Usually flights over oceans are out of reach. Some of them are tracked by satelites.

If the plane is below 100 meters in altitude, the trail will be white. If it is above 100 meters, the trail will yellow, then green, then above 2500 meters it will become light blue, then dark blue, purple and for the highest altitude it will be red.
The grey area there indicates that the aircraft is out of coverage ( an estimated flightpath is presented) for that part of the flight. The altutude graphic is part of the Skyaware map you have when you are feeding data towards Flightaware.
For flights that are no longer in our coverage area, we may estimate their position for up to 240 minutes. These flight tracks are shown as black dashed lines. Read more about estimated positions on Flightradar24.
A flight may not be visible on Flightradar24 for different reasons, but most likely it is either outside our coverage in that area or not equipped with a compatible transponder or a combination of the two.
This is the code for a general emergency. 7700 can be entered into the transponder for a variety of reasons, and some of the most common include medical emergencies, engine failure, problems with pressurization or landing gear, issues with flight control, and more.
The position is calculated based on many different parameters and in most cases it's quite accurate, but for long flights the position can in worst cases be up to about 100 km (55 miles) off. In settings there is an option to set for how long time you want to see estimated aircraft on map.
Does FlightRadar show private planes? Yes, it does, but the data is limited. If an operator doesn't want their personal details published, FlightRadar will block out that information or even omit showing the aircraft directly related to high-profile individuals, like Air Force One.
Where are the military planes on Flightradar24? FR24 filters out most of them, although recently I've noticed that a few get through. There are other similar sites such as adsbexchange that show them. Any airplane using ADS-B will show up on Flt Radar24.
Text: Air traffic controllers have multiple radar systems in place to track flights over land and sea, so when a plane disappears from radar, it's usually a sign that it's lost power, switched off its transmitters or dropped below cruising altitude.
A Squawk 7700 indicates an emergency. This can be an emergency of any kind. Pilots may input it into the transponder themselves – or when instructed to do so by ATC. As a result, ground control will know that the aircraft is dealing with a serious issue and needs help.
