Re: U.S. Investigators Suspect Missing Airplane Flew On for Hours
It can, but, again, the pilots would be aware of the course change. You have to punch it into the FMS, so it's not like you can sneak in during the flight and do that.
Not if the AP receives its instructions from the FMS/FMC which receives its instructions from a modified link to the SATCOM ACARS MU. That's the point you seem to want to ignore, even when NASA and Honeywell tells you its possible (if you had bothered to read the links provide).
So you'd have to do it before they even get into the cockpit, and that's not something they're going to miss before takeoff. It would be like getting into your car and not noticing that somebody set the GPS to take you to California.
That's nuts and complete misunderstanding of the potential in the SATCOM ACARS Avionics System. Why do you think they call it ACARS Avionics? Why would those two terms be linked together by SAS, if that's not how their aircraft are being operated?
Having just a little knowledge can be dangerous, especially when you refuse to accept reality. Reality dictates that the aircraft's FMS can be controlled through the ACARS MU. That's a fact. It may be a fact that you are not comfortable with, but a fact nonetheless. NASA, Honeywell and our Military already know this as a fact. You should get caught up on the technology before claiming something is not possible.
The people in the cockpit knew where the plane was going to go. Whether that was the pilots or some hijacker, we can't say at this point.
They would have known right up until the point where they could do nothing to prevent it. ACARS can integrate with more than the Avionics suite as I've mentioned earlier. So, if the aircraft had been set-up to release a toxic agent into the main cabin and flight deck through the recirculation system, that could have also been triggered through SATCOM ACARS.
It's something a person can do, but I don't really see a scenario in which it makes sense.
Of course, you don't because you cannot fathom a pre-staged Remote Controlled Skyjacking of Flight 370. You make it a lot more difficult than it has to be. It really does not have to be as hard as you are trying to make it. First the gas, then the FMS - in that order.
Recall, Betty Ong, on-board Flight 11:
Within the first 11 seconds she says that
"we can't breathe." Before that she says that she does not know if they are being
"maced."
Do you understand what this means? That's gas my dear friend. The question is, what kind of gas was it and WHERE did it come from. No skyjacker on 911 was ever accused of getting both box cutters and mace on-board commercial aircraft in the United States of America. Getting everybody involved on-board with box cutters was a mathematical improbability at best. Getting everybody involved on-board with box cutters AND some of them with mace, is pure Fantasy Island nonsense at best.
Now, you tell me what Betty, is talking about and why are people having difficulty breathing. This aircraft had not suffered any rapid decompression from a high altitude. There are absolutely zero reasons for these people to not be able to breathe, unless a toxic agent was released inside that cabin and/or cockpit.
And, it all makes perfectly good sense, if you are planning to remotely take-over the flight controls of the aircraft. Why? First, you knock out the flight crew on the flight deck with gas. Their cockpit door is CLOSED and SEALED, which means that the gas would slowly leak into the main cabin secondarily. This is why Betty, was talking about the passengers closer to the first class and business class sections - as being those having difficulty breathing. Those sections are physically closer than coach class, which is where Betty, initiated her phone call - she was near the rear of the aircraft.
That gas slowly made its way into the cabin. Who knows what amount leaked in - maybe not enough to knock out people sitting in Business and First Class, but certain enough to cause them to have difficulty breathing as Betty testifies on record.
Why did the media never pick up this anomaly? It is things just like this that causes hairs on the back of my neck to stand up and take notice. Not being able to breathe has NOTHING to do with a skyjacking. Why? Because the skyjackers WOULD NOT expose themselves to such gases, knowing full well that they had to fly the aircraft. It would make no sense at all for them to gas themselves.
Betty, gave us all some very valuable information, but how many people have just completely ignored what she said over the years.
