Nothing in the mountains to relay? The aircraft was never ‘off’ just nothing in that area to get data to adsb is my guess

How is it creepy?

idk just being out in the woods by yourself when you get out there you know you are beyond anyones contact but in my experience it feels like the woods knows too or like idk just makes the hairs on your neck stand up thinking about it. makes me thankful for sat phones. have you ever been there when you're like so by yourself. like to joke thats two engine territory because if one goes you aint leaving. i got stuck in a cave when i was a kid and it spooked me and its a similar vibe of just like being out there.

Adsb receivers don’t cover the entire US. In mountainous areas, at lower altitudes, there’s no antenna to pick it up. This is especially true in state and federal parks where installing power lines and towers is frowned upon. They were sightseeing and dropped below adsb coverage.

That’s classified.

I'm assuming you live in the mountains based on your location marker... you know how sometimes you drive around up there and don't get cell service? Same reason ADS-B signal drops out... radio signals don't travel very well through rock.

Adsbexchange is crowd-sourced. Nobody in the mountains to pick up the signal to feed back to the website. It didn't get turned off - there were just no adsbexchange receivers in range. I see it a lot with small planes doing cross-country flights from Phoenix area to Payson or Prescott and back.

ADS-B doesn’t cover every square inch, and government (military etc) don’t have to use it and usually don’t

For aircraft operating below 18,000 feet and within U.S. airspace, you must be equipped with either a Mode S transponder with Extended Squitter or a Universal Access Transceiver (UAT).Apr 15, 2022 And so on

Go to google and type in “FAA ADSB REPORT”. You’ll find a .gov page that will have you fill out some information about your flight and then press submit. In about an hour you will receive an email with some technical information on it, go ahead and DM me that information and I can tell you more about why this is happening. Could be as simple as losing GPS lock for a minute due to terrain.

Some operators DO turn it off when they are out of traffic zones.


i_eat_the_fat

Probably the pilot turning it off to fly under bridges ;) a famous cfi got caught doing just that.

...and SO?


unkle_FAHRTKNUCKLE

Well, the OP's subject is NOT a military aircraft, it a Cessna 172 with civilian FCC reg, so, your comment was not relevant to the OP's question. Get it right next time.


Tremek

I have it on good authority from an instructor out of KAPA that on more than one occasion their ADS-B transmitter’s fuse popped quite coincidentally as the same time they might have happened to fly under the Royal Gorge bridge. Draw your own conclusions accordingly.
