MH370

Featured Replies

It is kinda off-topic, but I want to ask your opinion, simmers/pilots/former pilots/ATCs/former ATCs/enthusiasists. 

 

What happened with MH370? How it is possible in year 2014 to just lose track with a huge, modern and high-tech aircraft like a triple seven? 

 

What we Do know so far: 

2 minutes after the flight's last transimission with an ATC, the aircraft's transpoder along with it's ACARS system, both shut down. However, even when shut-down, the ACARS keeps reporting the plane's position every hour through pings which requires deep knowledge in the aircraft's electronics to shut down unlike the ACARS itself for example. Thanks to those pings, investigators were able to track the plane's last movements every hour for the next 7 hours. Approximately 7 hours after it's transponder goes off, the plane stops responding to the ACARS' pings.

 

So, towards where did it fly? 

The moment it disappears from radar, the plane makes a sharp left turn to the west, towards India. It flies a couple of hundreds miles and then it changes its course again, this time to the south towards Antartica and it keeps flying south until it stops responding to ACARS' pings. 

 

These evidence suggest that there was someone in the cockpit (a pilot very likely) whose goal was to disappear the plane. (The transponder and the ACARS both shut down in a rapid succession, there's no mutual mechanical connection or something like that which could shut those both down and the only purprose of these two systems involves communicating with the ground, doesn't that ring any bells?) 

 

So, what do You think simmers/pilots/former pilots/ATCs/former ATCs/enthusiasists? I'm open minded for all your opinions. (To forum operators: Please transfer the topic where it should be in case I posted it in the wrong place.)

 

Thanks for your time

George Argyriadis
