lol this is FlightRadar24 which relies on members of the public with ADSB receivers transmitting information to the platform. If an area doesn’t have a dude with a gadget they get from FR24 then there is no coverage. This happens all the time in sparsely populated areas, and even in moderately populated areas due to terrain features impacting signal reception at certain altitudes. ADSB is also likewise not required if you’re outside 30 miles of a major Class B airport, or if you submit an airspace waiver, and if you submit a privacy application to the FAA your ADSB data won’t even be publicly viewable at all on any of the commercial ADSB tracking platforms. The fact that commercially-available ADSB data briefly dropped off in rural America during approach to landing is one of the most normal things to ever happen.
ADSB isn’t “radar”. “ADSB Radar” is not a thing. If you’re not transmitting ADSB you would still appear on a radar screen. ATC radar screen recordings aren’t publicly accessible.
Flightradar24 has a network of more than 50,000 ADS-B ground based receivers around the world that receive flight information from aircraft with ADS-B transponders and send this information to our servers. Due to the high frequency used (1090 MHz) the coverage from each receiver is limited to about 250-450 km (150-250 miles) in all directions depending on location. The farther away from the receiver an aircraft is flying, the higher it must fly to be covered by the receiver. The distance limit makes it very difficult to get terrestrial ADS-B coverage over oceans.
People in general overestimate the extensive of civilian flight surveillance capabilities. There are many parts of the country where you can’t even get in contact with ATC below 3000 feet.
“Plane turned off its Radar” (by which they mean the transponder, the ADSB-Out transmitter, or something else?) is not a conclusion you can draw from FlightRadar24.
Here’s the same issue from a flight on September 8:
I’m an airline pilot and part-time flight instructor and I’ve had flights to certain areas where the ADSB coverage “mysteriously” drops off before picking up again near the destination (airports tend to be near population centers, therefore someone transmitting information to FR24 is more likely). It didn’t involve me having my “radar illegally turned off”.
We can do better than posting twitter speculation from people who have no clue what they’re talking about.
Edit: And for non-towered airports in rural America, even radar coverage tends to be spotty. Radar services are usually terminated before you drop out of coverage and you have to call the controller from the ground after landing to let them know you didn’t crash and die.
There are hundreds of planes around the country flying around with no radios, no ADSB, and below radar coverage in rural areas every day. And it’s not illegal.
This escape plan doesn’t even make any sense. A private jet on an IFR plan is one of the most trackable means of transportation of all time. And they went through all that trouble only to land at the next state over? On a plane registered to known Zionists? You can land a private jet in Canada and 9/10 times there will be no customs officer even sent out to inspect the plane. You could head to Northern Canada, where there is basically zero coverage of anything in the lower levels.
TLDR: FR24 isn’t an all-seeing eye, it’s a crowdsourced commercial flight tracking platform that gets very janky once you get down low away from densely populated areas. I recommend using ADSBExchange because it ignores the FAA privacy flags for certain aircraft and you therefore get more extensive data.
Edit 2: I just took a look on FR 24 and the flight to PGA has complete data it seems like:
FR24 doesn’t have the return flight to PVU which is viewable on ADSBExchange. The flight path seems to conform with the usually assigned route. For instance they probably used this departure:
Additionally the clearance delivery contact for PGA is listed as a phone number, meaning ATC cannot be reached from the ground or at lower altitudes:
Have the spouse call the cops and say they saw him watching CP, and when they show up mention something about the guy working on the roof for some reason in the middle of the night.
He’s the president, he could get an interpreter to translate the broadcast for him live if he wanted, but he probably just means he saw someone tweet about it
It could be literal Adolf Hitler back from the dead and it wouldn’t matter. The narrative is that it’s a woke trans leftist who did it. They won’t let reality get in the way.
Well yeah but I wasn’t so I get to say it this time
This definitely seems much more planned out in terms of escape plan and contingencies though. The shooter in this instance also benefits from not doing the act in the most surveilled area in the USA
