A note about Estimated coverage: when you see a dashed or gray line behind an aircraft, that's estimated coverage. Colored lines indicate actual positions. When an aircraft is out of coverage, we estimate based on great circle routes to destination.

Dotted line is potential path. Usually flights over oceans are out of reach. Some of them are tracked by satelites.
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.
The radial red line near the bottom of green arc indicates Vmc, the minimum indicated airspeed at which the aircraft can be controlled with the critical engine inoperative.
The white line is an estimated track while the aircraft was out of range of terrestrial ADS-B coverage. If you look at the track log, you will notice a “gap in available data” between approx 1450Z and 1750Z - this is the part of the track that corresponds to the white line.
The most well know of these is the code 7700. This is used to indicate an emergency of any kind. A pilot will enter this when in an emergency situation - either instructed by ATC after declaring an emergency or without communication if there is no time.
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.
From 3 March 2020, ADS-B data collected by satellite was made available to all users. Aircraft located using satellite data are coloured blue on the map, and yellow if located by terrestrial receivers.
The most tracked flight consists of 4.79 million trackings and was achieved by ZZ177 RAF Boeing C-17A Globemaster III, carrying Queen Elizabeth II's coffin, from Edinburgh, Scotland to London, England on 13 September 2022.
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.
