Sometimes latitude and longitude continue to be updated, even though the A/C is no longer on ADSBex map. Plug the coords into Google map for a better fix.
But sometimes they do just disappear.

Guernsey Island. Damn I cannot keep those two straight. Anyway, a review of the Guernsey 2-regs shows Ace Aviation III Ltd.
There are many Ace Aviation companies. I think it's this one out of Malta.

Yes, normal. All will have an ICAO or MLAT number, but the trick is finding it. ADSBex is good for that.

It depends on what the A/C was designed for. Some A/C designed for lots of takeoffs and landings (short commuter flights) will have thrust specific fuel consumption (TSFC) optimized for takeoff. Others with long hauls will be optimized for best TSFC at cruise. One the amazing things about the A/C powered by the CFM-56 variants is that it does both profiles very well.
