That makes sense. They said they continued to transmit data for awhile. So that wouldn't happen if it were in the drink!

I have no idea what system the 777 uses but, that's the way it works on the Honeywell Epic system in the Citation 680 Sovereign.  It's a flying computer...

I'd imagine the same could be said for the triple 7. Also the data transmission shut down at different times. Not all at once like an untimely event would cause! :smile30:

saw this posted a bit ago...

There are about a thousand runways all over those islands that the plane could land and take off from. My dad flew out of about one hundred of them during WWII.

Our government knows where it is, they are just getting the Navy Seals or other special forces ready to go in there. The maintenance bursts sent to Boeing and Rolls Royce report speed, altitude and LOCATION (as well as a lot of other info) every 30 minutes. The pilot can't turn this off.

The passengers are hostages (at least they are alive).

More to come soon.......


That highlighted part make any sense to you plane guys?

Well I wondered about the engine data reporting, seemed to me to be important to know location, sometimes location can offer up reasons as to why things happen to the engine. I could see where Boeing may not want the whole world to know that they can track planes by their engines. All kinds of entities could force them to offer up that data in cases they may not want to be associated with. Kind of like auto manufacturers tracking cars and our driving habits! think.gif

CNN says this is a conspiracy theory  think.gif

Some more interesting info is that the radar info that they have from the military tracking an unknown aircraft on established way points used by airlines headed towards Europe. I find it hard to overlook or write off the fact that there are unidentified aircraft flying on established way points used by commercial airlines. That's a little strange knowing how the airlines work with their routes and said information. Not that anyone can't find that info out, but chances are it wasn't small covering that type of distance it did in such a short time.

It's sitting in a hangar somewhere. If a 406 went off they know exactly where it is. Ours go off every once in a while by accident and in a couple of mins we get a call from search and rescue.

I'm now edjamacated!  FANS 1/A requirement is required in that theater of operation.  In order to comply, the datalink system must use an ADS-C. This requires the FMS to provide automatic position reporting to the datalink system.  Once again, I'm not in the know of how a 777 is configured however, it's seems pretty likely that the transponders do not need to be active as they are needed in ADS-B.  If you would like to further your knowledge on the matter, go to www.faa.gov. Search the faa for advisory circulars
AC 20-140B
AC 20-160
AC 120-70B
AC 91-70A
BTW, FANS stands for Future Air Navigation
ADS-B stands for Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast
ADS-C stands for Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Contract

That coincides with what I read on CNN. That a satellite data company that reported the pings, said the info should be able to be tracked! Maybe they don't want anyone to know that they know where it is yet! Maybe they are trying to figure out just who is going to go kick some butt and retrieve it. It might me better to have the world wondering what happened why they hatch a plan. Like the whole Wag the dog kind of thing! think.gif

Another rumor is its been suspected that it was commandeered by private sources to be brought back to the states, torn down & parted out. There is reportedly a buyer in the New Braunfels area already putting in bids for one of the engines in hopes of getting a capless jetboat of questionable origin over 42 mph once completed. :huh:

:grin:

I would hope it would go faster than 42mph

You have to admit that is pretty good! :smile16:
