Thinking about that screen shot.
It was heavily synthesised as the only plot was that of MH370. There must have been other plots but they appear to have been suppressed.
A simple screen shot would have shown the contact at one moment. This short was clearly a composite showing an initial track, a dark period, and then a regain until it ran out of radar range.
What caused the initial 'dark' period?
Either they had no plot for some technical reason or the aircraft was at a medium level and ran out of radar range at that level.
Contact was then gained as the aircraft was climbed to a greater altitude and finally lost at that higher altitude when it was too far from the radar site.
