No, it isn't common. Very few light aircraft carry full ADSB so that means
they don't send position data. Quite a few of the smaller private jets fit
in this group too.. That is why you don't see much off airways traffic..
If all aircraft were ADSB equipped the FR24 screens would be saturated.. :)
Just as an example we get about 150/200 flights each day at Ronaldsway but
the only ADSB aircraft are the three Easyjet flights..

Don't know if it's a common occurrence but just caught my first single
engine aircraft on Flightradar 24. A Pilatus PC12 (VP-CPX) out of Fairoaks
heading north.. .. just goes to show the fun you can have on a slow and lazy
Sunday afternoon :)

It must be local to you..
The IoM still shows the apron dug up and that got finished before they
started on the runway extensions! And the flats next to me are still a muddy
field.. :)

Does anyone know how to find out which mapping product FlightRadar24 uses?
This appears to be the latest, most recent satellite coverage, particularly
over Farnborough (EGLF).
There are many recent developments which are shown once zoomed in, which are
not yet available in the usual GE, Google maps and Bing.
One example is the Aviator Hotel. A propeller shaped building on the NE
perimeter.
