    Everything is under control in the cockpit. If you want to say a prayer, that might help too.

     

    I dont understand what is so not reassuring about this statement. Everything is under control ( what is there not to understand about under control) the prayer statement it seems to be casual. Whats wrong with that? Aka in a football game ::we are hoping to get a win if you want to say a prayer that might help too.

    Just because some are atheist doesnt mean others cant pray, goodness

    So what are the consequences of landing heavy? I guess could cripple the landing gears and tyres burst or possibly brakes on fire?

     

    During approach, I assume they probably have to increase air speed as sink rate can be faster than normal landing?

    Overweight landing is not a big deal as it sounds to be. Consequence is engineering will have to go thru an overweight landing check thereafter which may take time. When fuel price was high, some carriers actually prefer to have overweight landing than fuel dump.

    Well back then flying was a lot simpler... none of these FD bull....

    Whats this got to do with aax turn back? Fyi back then there were less aircraft in the sky. Back then there were less atc restrictions. Back then pilots might be less fatigue, back then the trip to airport were less stressful back then fuel was cheaper no environmental concern bull.

    What about over Romania, Black Sea, Turkey, Turkmenistan?

     

    I m not 100% sure but was told before that eurocontrol actually does have a say in which routing to take. Something like a one way west one way east route.

    Btw after turkmenistan still have to pass thru afghanistan is that ok?

     

    Unless safe passage is not a carrier's duty.

     

    If lightning could strike the same place twice, it could strike the 3rd time as it is :(

    Now RMAF say it did scrambled its fighter planes to intercept MH370?? and this is now being released after 33 days?? And when RMAF radar detected the supposedly turn back - it didnt say so or inform the govt only after 5 days and wasting the precious 5 days searching the waters off vietnam! And believed the govt did acknowledged and even say the RMAF did not scramble any of its jets bec it was seen as "not hostile" Seriously if indeed such conflicting news now stands then like the international media have been saying all along that Malaysia's credibity is at stake.

    Then again this is from un named senior gov officials reported by cnn. Hmmm dont trust 100% these news. If its true pls publish the name of the gov official

    It seems highly likely that MH370 entered Indonesian airspace at some point. Has anyone seen any statement from Indonesia confirming the aircraft was or was not detected?

    Maybe the Indonesian Air Force were sleeping on the job like the Malaysian Air Force and either did not detect it or did and didn't do anything about it. Hindsight is a great thing but the TUDM failed spectacularly to defend the nation against a potential significant threat and no one has taken responsibility for this. Had the Air Force done its job the outcome of this tragedy may have been different.

    Why the obsession with scrambling jets to intercept? Do not expect jets to be scrambled every time there a UFO ok. Its peace time, gosh too much hollywood

    There are numerous keypoints I'm not understand, that this flight MH370 indeed full of mysterious questions~

     

    1) What makes the coincidence of disappearance from Radar upon the exchange contact between Vietnam and Malaysia?

    Could be just a coincidence that whatever happened happened at that point

     

    2) What is the purpose of deactivating the transponder?

    Deactivated or xponder malfunction no one knows, purpose if deactivated of cos its to avoid detection

     

    3) What's the purpose of descending the aircraft to a lower altitude since they had made a statement that the military radar detected a blip?

    No one knows

     

    4) If blip is detected and unknown, the military aircraft should propose an intercepting flight. But there's no action taking place, Why?

    Bcos msia is in peace time and theres no reason to get overly excited by some unidentified blip. Do you know that primary radar has lots of other blips incl every flight that passes thru the range of radar? All of it no ident cos its primary. Do you expect the jets to intercept every blip?

     

    5) If emergency has been taken place, wouldn't be wise for pilots to fly straight ahead to land at Ho Chi Minh City since the plane is at high altitude and jettison the fuel if required?

    If it was indeed an emergency depends on what is it? Its the pilots decision based on many factors, closest may not be the best sometimes closest may also need not be the fastest to reach etc etc etc, the AC can perfectly land overweight no biggie.

     

    6) The endup of MH370 is located at South Indian Ocean, which is just West of Perth. The doubt I'm having here is if MH370 passes through Indonesia and Straits of Malacca, wouldn't they detect the aircraft from primary radars?

    Same as point no 4

     

    7) Previous posts showing that there's sightings of military radar in Thailand and Malaysia. If there's blip over Thailand , what's the course they are heading to? And what makes their flight alter from North to South which is not logical at all. And the fuel shouldn't be sufficient to reach over South Indian Ocean.

    So was stated it went west than south. Fuel yes it can reach if it flew at optimum FL. Remember somewhere it stated that it had 49.1 tons of fuel, easily can make 8 hours flight time if not heavy and good FL.

     

    8) Lastly, what's the purpose of altering the track from original flight path?

    Only the whoever did it knows, thats why its called an investigation and dont expect investigation to be done in 15 days.

     

    So many doubts yet still confusion exists. Plot Thickens.

    Yes doubts in everyones mind incl investigators. Dont have to ask too many questions as once the investigation is complete we will all know.

    The info is from Inmarsat and they consulted the AAIB.

     

    As the official from Inmarsat has mentioned, this info is only a small part of the total investigation. They do not know what other information that the Malaysian govt. has. All they are doing is contributing the information that they have in their possession.

     

    The investigation is a shambles. No one appears to be responsible - there is no one heading the investigation. If it is Hisham (as the acting Minister of Transport), then there is a distinct lack of leadership. He appears more like a spokesman, reading statements. So who is directing the investigation now?

     

    Australia has handed the lead back to Malaysia, now that the operations in the South Indian Ocean is no longer a SAR operation.

     

    It is very sad that we have been exposed as incompetent, bungling country... Actually, to say that we are inexperienced is a little inaccurate. Just look at all those disasters like Highland Towers, Genting bus crash, lorry crashes on the Plus highway - all these disasters end up as mere statistics. Nothing much concrete was done to improve matters.

     

    The report of the Genting bus crash recommended that we also establish a NTSB like authority to investigate matters relating to transport services. Lets hope and pray that we will indeed have such a body soon. It is so embarrassing to see incompetent and bungling politicians and officials in the world media limelight.

    Me thinkd u kinda hard on hishamuddin. Malaysia obviously lead the investigation. On what basis do you say no onr is respondible nor leading? What i see is hishamuddin did what he could, contacting and getting whatever help there is thats why the multinational search. What he released to the press he had released leads that are worth to pursue and credible data. Pls do not simply lisyen to what the press are bashing about. The press wanted info, but there was none so what could the minister do? Do you want your minister to give rumours like daily mail?

    With what had been concluded now, I think what happened is a mixture of the Swissair Flight 111 and Helios Flight 522 tragedies.

     

    The 200kg of lihtium ion battery caused a fire in the cargo comparement which caused failures to the aircraft system which leads to the aircraft changes altitudes and its course erratically. This then caused depressurisation and hypoxia, which leads to the aircraft flew as a ghost flight for 7 hours towards the south Indian Ocean until its ran out of fuel and eventually crashed.

     

    I ruled out hijacking by the cockpit crew or any other POB.

    Lithium batt can cause fire yes but not fly the plane to the indian ocean. And no if it burns aircraft systems it still cant key in the fms nor set the MCP. So what the relevance of lithium?

    If you ask me, I think that the aircraft manufacturers should make it impossible for the pilots to turn off transponders if the aircraft is flying above 100 ft. So, they can turn it off on the ground. Once it is in the air, if will broadcast continuously.

    How about different modes of transponder? TA, alt, TARA? Come on you cant just bcos of this to make the whole system change, sounds like limiting all car max speed to 90 km/h

    In the Helios incident jets were scrambled to intercept the jetliner after they failed to make contact, and I believe the jets were armed to shot if necessary.

     

    Am just wondering if another Helios happens around this region, would any country (ASEAN countries) scramble their jets and shot the plane down, or wait for it to fall to the ground.

    Either way this is an embarrassing incident for the RMAF since they let an UFO passed just like this without scrambling their jets. For 4-5 hours, they were doing nothing!

     

    I am just wondering though. IF, let's say, if somebody had stolen MRO... Will the engines broadcast the messages to Boeing and RR if she is flying again?

     

    Or will the engines broadcast the messages again if it is fitted onto another 777-200ER? Will Boeing or RR be able to identify these are the engines from The stolen jet, MRO?

    Theres actually quite a bit of unidentified flying object around,and the military detects a lot of flying object in its primary radar. That includes flying club and airliners as long as its an object in the sky. These are unidentified cos its a primary radar with no aircraft ident. Do you seriously expect rmaf to scramble jets everytime theres a UFO? Then i ll bet you ll say its a waste of tax money. Jets are scrambled when its considered hostile ( of cos with prior intelligence).
