Meaningless (?) blue dashed line and black dot 'waypoints' o

FlightAware General
1

A previous post on this topic didn’t answer the question, so here is a new example – as clear as the sky on the day it occurred, see screenshot:
slipeesleeve.com/dashed-line/example.jpg

THE FACTS (see screenshot):
→ The IFR flight plan according to FlightAware (KSBA GVO MQO ROBIE AMEBY KSQL, as per table at the bottom of the screenshot) is pretty straight and has just two VOR-TACs, one reporting point and one waypoint on it.
→ The actual flight as indicated by the solid green line is pretty straight, as expected, reflecting a normal uneventful departure.
→ And yet, the dashed blue line shows this crazy zig-zag! None of the black dot “waypoints” FlightAware shows on the dashed blue line are on the flight plan, and the actual flight (green line) ignores them.

THE QUESTION:
So what is this zig-zag all about – or by extension, what are the dashed blue line and the black dot “waypoints” all about?

A second example of where the blue dashed line appears meaningless (and I could show myriad more) is shown in the upper right corner of the screenshot, where someone is practicing approaches/holding patterns on KSBA runway 07. So here again, what is the meaning of the dashed blue line with the black dot “waypoints”?

Thanks, Rohan

The waypoints line is a model of the flight provided by the ANSP. For the flights at KSBA that would be the FAA, specifically I believe the model comes from TFMS rather than HOST.

We’ve noticed a few errors in the lines over the years, like mislocating a waypoint at another waypoint with the same name elsewhere in the world, or some strangely modeled departure or arrival procedures.
