Malaysia Airlines Plane "Loses Contact"
Discussion
To believe anything but the official explanation you must believe that Inmarsat would deliberately mislead the investigation.
What's in it for them to do that? Why would a global communications company risk its reputation when the easiest way for them to cover up would be to say nothing?

Assuming that the aircraft was running on autopilot with a stable course, height and airspeed, does anyone on here know what the flight control systems would do in the event of a single flame-out and then a second?
I know that the flight crews check list would include an attempt to restart followed by a controlled decent and reduction in airspeed to match the single engine performance followed by a divert. Would the automatic systems do something similar and could the aircraft effectively ditch on autopilot though without the use of flaps etc
This was mentioned ages ago & someone said simulator tests proved it'd stall, drop, recover, stall, drop, recover, etc etc splash. Something to do with the autopilot pulling up & opening the throttles to hold speed & height without understanding the engines were off.I know that the flight crews check list would include an attempt to restart followed by a controlled decent and reduction in airspeed to match the single engine performance followed by a divert.

This was a controlled landing with no engines

Not if you accept that the data that Inmarsat believe they had could have been planted by a third party. Or that it was generated by some system glitch. What's in it for them to do that?

it's not the problem for experienced pilot to land the plane in calm water, but with every inch of wave height the chances deteriorate greatlyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mLKfRVU3qM

and IO in March is everything but calm

Was it "zigzagging"? (Younger PHers should ask their parents about that reference.)
no it just went around Indonesia to evade their airspace and possible interceptionTTmonkey said:

How come no trace of wreckage yet found?
A few years back didnt a giant container ship disappear without trace?
Unlikely - all the containers would float off. They are usually only secured by their own weight vertically (apart from the locking corner doodads which aren't really that strong), and a lot of containers tend to be filled mainly with air.A few years back didnt a giant container ship disappear without trace?
Bulk freighters are another matter entirely. Those sink quite regularly if a hatch blows open, and they would probably go down whole.

I think you're looking for this thread : http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...hmmm, how far geographically is this crash from where the Malaysia plane was reported to have 'climbed fast to an altitude that it wasn't supposed to be able to get to'.....?
Anyone think they should perhaps be looking again at the sea bed near where it was first lost from radar contact?
