TWC I'm curious and you would likely know that, is it possible to turn off comms from E/E bay in a way that left AC bus stays operative?!

there is a huge conflict and they have lied a LOT about this, but I just can't grasp how they could pull something like this without noone noticing, I think China would realise that easily and be very mad at them

Simon do you realise that USA&neighbour countries would quickly realise the conspiracy of Malaysians? Or you suggest it's the conspiracy of many countries including USA? While I don't trust government(completely) either, I find this hard to believe. Little to gain, much to lose.

Debris tracking flight MH370 based on ocean currents northern part of the search area looks much more probable if this is anything to go by (I would add this to my last post but edit didn't work for some reason from my Opera browser)

notice that this is based on the object washing up after a year and 4 months, however now we have confirmation from multiple witnesses that it was first seen in May so that makes it a year and 2 months(and maybe even before), which all pushes the likely location of origin even more to the north

well now when we have debris literally everything points to the opposite of their defined area that same area has been extensively searched for debris with various planes ships etc. to miss one piece wouldn't be a surprise, but so many? nigh on impossible I have and I will always criticize...

you mean like ATSB focused on southern SIO for a year or so? Yes I absolutely agree.

Mick I know that but it's about probabilities, noone can point exact location of origin but it's safe to make some estimations and say area SW of Australia has 5% chance, NW of Australia 35% chance etc. Just look how much red color is around Reunion if you pick Christmas Island as a starting...

I guess that site is frequently visited these days :) if I put it a little bit south of Christmas Island and choose forward option, after 1 year and 2 months it gets right to Reunion Island...

yupp, however his calculation is based on object washing ashore in July, there are multiple witnesses (including guy that is a beachcomber and used the item for different purposes) the object washed ashore in May (or even before), which puts the crash location even further to the north on the...

TWCobra great job :)

MH370 contrails have been identified and measured by Kirill Prostyakov and Bobby Ulich • High-resolution long-wave infrared imagery was used to detect nighttime contrails and to trace the path of 9M-MRO during the final maneuvers from 18:22 – 18:40 UTC on 7 March 2014 – 3 Turns were made...

admittedly :)

yupp that's indeed telling, however maybe pilot knew about that and somehow disabled that part of the system but not the whole system

it was a night flight, if he persuaded F/O to keep things quiet nobody would notice things are wrong unless they looked on their GPS

I know but what if the waypoint or heading were selected with intention to act later which was prevented by circumstances in the plane? I know the full path could be preprogrammed before it but who knows what went through his head during the flight.

I also think the straight line was the most probable outcome but what if the autopilot was planned to be on south heading just temporarily and something happened before the making of another turn? well 1000 miles off the coast is still remote area and yes it's very difficult task and it...

Why would they be less likely? Well because they wouldn't(and didn't) need permanent invisibility in that case. Turning off transponder and comms greatly increase your chances to get over malaysian mainland unchallenged and there is no reason to lose time on fiddling with Satcom because those...

well it is possible that he didn't know that too, but I suppose if he really wanted to hide the aircraft forever he would inform himself much better (Satcom isn't military secret and the info is publically available) which leads me to the conclusion that he had some airport as his planned...
