it might have, i dont know how this system interprets a plane shutting off its transponder, and the altitude was steady right until it went off grid, so its possible it went dark in my view, but im no expert. Regardless I refreshed and checked again, its no longer on the system, so my best guess is it shut its transponder off, maybe as it was lining an approach to land at mcarran.
i mean, I'm autistic, but Im not well versed in how this tracking works, the plane on the ground is tracked via MLAT, stands for multilateration tracking, I dont know how it works, just that its, i think some form of radar tracking, I know off the top of my head that radar can sometimes bounce or reflect off of things and send back false returns to the radar dish, but I have no idea how one like this would occur.

Live in S LV. Nothing down. Your off the grid hypothesis seems likely.
I was thinking this, the flight path is eradic though
any autists here can help?

I have no idea myself sorry
Slowly but i can see it moving, also altitude and speed are showing up
Uh Oh. That doesn't sound good....
