MISSING MH370: ACARS cannot be disabled totally, b'cos every aircraft will have a unique code with the satellite. http://www.nst.com.my/latest/font-color-red-missing mh370-font-acars-cannot-be-disabled-1.521314#ixzz2wPFmW641 KL: The Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) cannot be totally disabled from the aircraft as it goes in standby mode much like a telephone on flight mode. That is why, despite being turned off, satellites could still ?ping? the ACARS on M'sia Airlines MH370 after it went off-radar. Pilots use ACARS on a normal day only to receive or to send short messages and weather reports. They can even use a three-step selection process which can alert air traffic controllers of any emergency or hijacking, as long as there is battery life. When use SATCOMM the VHF communication is out of range. ?When in an emergency, hijacking or others pilot has to change transponder code to either 7700, 7600, 7500.? ACARS is a system that works on Very High Frequency (VHF) and Satellite Communication (SATCOMM). ?ACARS is a communication system, not a Global Positioning System (GPS) it does not give positions but only transfer messages. ?Basically like an SMS, use to send and receive data from the ground. What happens when power up, ACARS will establish communication with the satellite. ?So when ACARS is off, but not the connection, that's why the ?ping? indicated. a connection and the aircraft is flying." when plane is powered up or flying, the ?ping? is established but it would be at different locations since the aircraft is moving, which would explain the pings or handshakes of MH370. ?It is Mas procedure to switch ACARS, VHF, and High Frequency selection off but this is only for flights to China as the service provider for Mas does not cover China. Some if not all pilots switch them all off for a while and then later switch SATCOMM back on to force the system into SATCOMM mode.? ?Perhaps over the sea, plane travelled lower would burn more fuel if it did that. if the plane had crashed, the black box beacon would have sent a signal as the vibration of the G-force (force of gravity, when the crash occurred). |

THe disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines plane with MH 370 with 239 people aboard believe it most likely that the plane flew into the southern Indian Ocean, a source close to the investigation said on Wednesday.
" The working assumption is that it went south, and furthermore that it went to the southern end of that corridor." http://sg.news.yahoo.com/millions-join-satellite-search-missing-plane-020545043.html Meanwhile -- Three million people have joined an effort led by a satellite operator to locate the missing Malaysia Airlines plane, in what may be the largest crowdsourcing project of its kind.

Whoever in control of the missing Boeing 777-200ER would just have to switch off all the plane's lights and follow the night to avoid visual contact.
" Once the transponders are off and the lights are dimmed, Flight MH370 becomes a ghost flight in the night sky. It can follow other planes closely or fly below them without anyone knowing. " It will know where the other planes are from the radio chatter," one pilot told The Malaysian Insider. |

Search for the missing jet, dubbed as an " unprecedented aviation mystery" , continues today, some 240 hours after it vanished into thin air. - March 18, 2014.
Flight MH370 undetected without transponders Sweeperguy said if MH370 had followed SQ68 along a north-west path over India, which he speculated, the missing passenger jet would be near the SIA jetliner over Pakistan five hours from its last known position at 2.15am. " So, by closely following SQ68 at a similar altitude and speed, it's likely that any Indian radar operator would not notice or question two closely placed primary radar returns as long as he had the expected squawk from SQ68," he added. In his Tumblr post, Ledgerwood came to the same conclusion that flight MH370 had flown to all the navigational waypoints disclosed by the Malaysian authorities until it was near the vicinity of SQ68 at about 2.15am. He said it became apparent that when inspecting SQ68?s flight path history that flight MH370 had positioned itself directly behind the SIA plane " at approximately 18:00UTC and over the next 15 minutes had been following SQ68" . A Reddit social network contributor named " Sweeperguy" and hobbyist pilot Keith Ledgerwood suggested the theory that lost Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200ER had shadowed the Barcelona-bound SQ68 for most of the seven hours it remained in the air. Note -- Flight SQ68 is a Boeing 777-300ER, a slightly longer version of the Malaysia Airlines passenger jet by 33 feet, and travelled near MH370 when it vanished from Malaysian military radar screens at 2.15am on March 8, 2014. The theory has been gathering chatter on pprune.org or the Professional Pilots Rumour Network and on Ledgerwoord's Tumblr microblogging site since last weekend. |

http://sg.news.yahoo.com/could-missing-mh370-stalked-sia-flight-north-possible-225900110.html M'sia MH 370 is mssing, is mystery deepen - Piggybacking on SQ//\\68???????. According to Singapore Airlines website, flight SQ68 was scheduled to leave the republic's Changi airport at 1.05am for Barcelona, some 25 minutes after MH370 flew from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on the other direction. " It looks like if MH370 turned after lost contact at 0130 (1.30am) and followed the track back over Malaysia and along the way points previously discussed, it would be in the position shown at 0215 (2.15am), which is 200 nautical miles north-west of Penang. " This position is only about 30 nautical miles behind the 0215 position of SQ68 which is also a 777." As MH370 was flying 'dark' without transponder / ADS-B output, SQ68 would have had no knowledge that MH370 was anywhere around and as it entered Indian airspace, it would have shown up as one single blip on the radar with only the transponder information of SQ68 lighting up ATC and military radar screens," Ledgerwood wrote in a post that has gone viral. He pointed out that the SIA flight would not have detected the missing MH370 as " the Boeing 777 utilises a TCAS system for traffic avoidance the system would ordinarily provide alerts and visualisation to pilots if another airplane was too close" . But that system only operates by receiving the transponder information from other planes and displaying it for the pilot, he said, adding " If MH370 was flying without the transponder, it would have been invisible to SQ68" . " In addition, the TCAS system onboard MH370 would have enabled the pilot(s) to easily locate and approach SIA68 over the Straits of Malacca as they appeared to have done. " The system would have shown them the flight?s direction of travel and the altitude it was traveling which would have enabled them to perfectly time an intercept right behind the other Boeing 777," Ledgerwood said. He said while MH370 did not follow SQ68 to Spain, it would have broken free from the shadow of the larger SIA jetliner and " could have then flown a path to it?s final landing site " such as China's Xinjiang province, Kyrgyzstan, or Turkmenistan. " Each of these final locations would match up almost perfectly with the 7.5 hours of total flight time and trailing SIA68. " In addition, these locations are all possibilities that are on the 'ARC' and fit with the data provided by Inmarsat from the SATCOM?s last known ping at 01:11UTC," Ledgerwood said. |

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asiapacific/mh370-focus-now-on/1039714.html KL: The search and rescue (SAR) operations for the missing Malaysia has asked its foreign partners to examine their satellite data, and requested Southeast Asian nations to relook at their radar data. It is analysing all data in order to refine and narrow down the search areas. Hishammuddin listed down the assets deployed by foreign nations in the search for missing airliner, adding that more assets have been deployed. The search for missing MH370 plane is above politics, stressing priority has always been to locate the missing airliner.

French experts will lend their expertise in underwater search operation to M'sia which is leading a search and rescue (SAR) mission to locate the missing Malaysia Airlines (MAS) MH370 aircraft. Jean Paul Troadec, a special adviser to France's aviation accident investigation bureau, said their experience in investigating the Air France Flight 447 accident in 2009, might come in handy in the ongoing search for the Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. " We specialise in the field of underwater search, experiment and technical aspect in communication and electronics," However, Troadec said the SAR operation for Flight MH370 would be different from that which located the Flight 447 aircraft immediately after the crash. " The difference is - soon after the accident of Air France Flight 447, we knew the limited area where the airplane was. |

It mentioned plane made a sharp turn South West and climb sharply up to 45,000 ft and down to 23,00 ft, (the norm height is 30,000 to 40,000 ft). Can this knock out crews and passengers on board? due to sudden air cabin pressure.

Latest twist to MH-370 missing saga...? http://sg.news.yahoo.com/did-pilot-hijack-mh370-political-protest-against-anwar-014237465.html Did the crew or someone else make flight MH370 disappear? Did pilot hijack MH370 as political protest against Anwar?s, for his latest jail term? The opposition leader was jailed for five years by the Court of Appeal which had overturned his High Court acquittal for sodomising a former aide in 2008. The newspaper said police sources confirmed that the 53-year-old captain was a vocal political activist, and were probing into the probability that he would have been profoundly upset by the court ruling. Police searched the veteran pilot's home in Shah Alam, where he keeps a home-made flight simulator. |

http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/me.htm Najib said authorities had determined that the plane's last communication with a satellite was in one of two possible " corridors" ? a northern route from northern Thailand through to the border of Kazakstan and Turkmenistan, and a southern route from Indonesia to the southern Indian Ocean. Najib said, search in the South China Sea, where the plane first lost contact with air traffic controllers, would be ended. The current search involved 14 countries, 43 ships and 58 aircraft. |

The prime minister then confirmed that Malaysian air force defense radar picked up traces of the plane turning back westward, crossing over peninsular Malaysia into the northern stretches of the Strait of Malacca. Authorities previously had said this radar data could not be verified. He then said the last confirmed signal between the plane and a satellite came at 8:11 a.m. Malaysian time ? 7 hours and 31 minutes after take-off. Airline officials have said the plane had enough fuel to fly for up to about eight hours. " The investigations team is making further calculations which will indicate how far the aircraft may have flown after this last point of contact," he said.

http://natgeotv.com/uk/air-crash-investigation/black-boxWHAT IS A BLACK BOX?Often one of the first pieces of techno-speak that springs to mind when we hear of an aviation disaster - and a catch-all phrase popular with the media - is ?Black Box,? but how much do you really know about these vital pieces of equipment?
To help locate the cockpit voice recorder and a flight data recorder in the aftermath of a plane crash that occurs at sea, each recorder has a device fitted to it known as an Underwater Locator Beacon (ULB).
The device is activated as soon as the recorder comes into contact with water and it can transmit from a depth as deep as 14,000 feet. Also, to help investigators find them a Black Box is not actually black at all, but bright orange.
All recorders undergo countless tests. For example, one Black Box recorder, the L-3 FA 2100 underwent testing that includes exposure to a 1,110°C fire for an hour and 260°C heat for 10 hours. It is also able to operate between -55° to +70°C and it can carries a minimum 25 hours of flight data.
