But they had the information from virtually day 1 but then took forever to release it. But when you watch the documentary they aren’t actually clear that he had simulated that route. They started drawing over the screen and its seemingly got dismissed. Why no suicide note? Why not just nose dive it into the sea as soon as it cleared Malaysia? Can the pilot really turn off the oxygen for the rest of the plane? Can the pilot access the technology to switch off all the radars? I’m not sure the answer to those last 2 is ‘yes’. So that doesn’t add up. IF, he could do those 2. Why wait 7 hours before the plan ran out of fuel? What benefit is that to anyone? What statement is he making? There was no evidence to suggest he did this or was in the mindset to do this. Regards suicide notes That German guy who took off from Barcelona en route to Germany I don't think he left one Though they quickly deduced that was his aim It seems to come down to whether you trust the insamat(?) Satellite data that the plane headed south over the Indian Ocean Quote
Spider Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 One for @Marc505 here really Conversations between pilot and ATC of an A380 currently stuck over the Irish sea Quote
Winchester White Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 I'd be pissed off on that plane, looks like a secondary system has failed so rather than fly to destination and have a grounded aircraft they are burning fuel and landing back at Heathrow. According to folk on twitter anyway. Quote

Same as @Winchester WhiteI'd be pissed off at that, saw someone else saying that flight is always delayed for hours as it is! Then again, I suppose they'd be flying past an area of ocean where right now hundreds of people are risking their lives looking for people who skipped over taking every safety precaution they could.

Marc505 Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 Not down (well, maybe simulated) but this is incredible stuff. F-16 pilot casually answering podcast questions while he takes off, has a few dogfights and lands. Never seen owt like it. Quote

Marc505 Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 Ryanair plane lost comms over London in the last hour or two, Typhoon scrambled from near here and was doing around 700mph by the time it got near Luton, my Facebook is alive with people freaking out about the sonic boom! Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 Can't see anything on t'internet yet. Seems similar happened in March this year, and also in 2019 too. Quote

Marc505 Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 Co-pilot on an Alaskan Airlines jet tried to shut the engines down mid-flight the other day, had to be removed from the cockpit and restrained. Turns out he was on mushrooms! Quote

jmjhb Posted February 5, 2024 Posted February 5, 2024 I can tell you what it wasn't. A hijacking - they're escorted to Stansted for that Quote

Tonge moor green jacket Posted May 21, 2024 Posted May 21, 2024 One dead and multiple injures on a flight from Heathrow to Singapore as a result of turbulence! That's some bad weather, and questions of weather radar on Boeing aircraft. Sounds a right mess. Quote
