This may well have already been asked, but why is the data not transmitted in real-time via satellite to ground stations ? Bandwidth, availability of satellites ?
It was certainly covered to death in the MH370 thread. Not that I can remember the answer MarkRSi said:
poo at Paul's said:
Anyone else a bit suspicious that once the Egyptians have their hands on things, if the data "doesn't suit", it may become "corrupted".?
All a bit chinny rec imho.
If it is the Egyptians I can't say it fills me with confidence...All a bit chinny rec imho.

They'll probably deny having them tomorrow.
The yanks should be given all FDRs for investigation, with international observers present.
No they shouldnt.The yanks should be given all FDRs for investigation, with international observers present.
OK, you'll probably come back with why trust the yanks, so OK the Dutch then, the French, British. Anybody but the Egyptians.

Doesn't make any sense at all. The BEA will get involved and have proven themselves very capable time and time again.
How about a British made aircraft crashing in the UK? Let the Americans take the flight recorders and tell us what they think?
I don't understand why you would want it

I'm reassured that the BEA are leading though, didn't know that.

Two reasons - trust and technical expertise.
I'm reassured that the BEA are leading though, didn't know that.
I didn't say leading, I said they'd be involved.I'm reassured that the BEA are leading though, didn't know that.
I do understand why you might not trust the results of an Egyptian investigation but unless I misunderstood I thought you were suggesting the Americans should investigate every Air Accident. Apologies if I misunderstood you.
Let's hope the data is recovered and at least some preliminary investigation is complete without it dragging on too long. Must be very hard for the families not knowing.

'while French prosecutors say no evidence so far of terrorism'

Nope. Just "no evidence". People like to jump on those two words and abuse them to mean "is not". Where as what it means is "we have no information on that". Which is hardly a surprise given the story is these four words stretched out as far as possible: "the data is safe". That's all. We don't know what the data shows.'while French prosecutors say no evidence so far of terrorism'
so a fault then?
French Prosecutor Spokesperson said:
authorities were not favouring the theory that the plane had been brought down deliberately
I guess if it's proven to be a fault, the ramifications for the air industry could be massive, with the A320 being one of the mainstays of short-haul? Could also spill over to the 319/321? If that range was grounded it would bring short-haul flights to a virtual stop surely?CAPP0 said:
