Perhaps they are lunatics?


Myopic for any investigator - forensic, medical, accident, etc. - to
disregard anything within the ambit of possibilities.


How is it on Airbus? On some I was told maintenance is always in the
loop. And if anything goes wrong a report is datalinked right away.
Perhaps mr airbus will shed some light on this???


Capt. Doug, if he still posts here, could tell. I know he flies an
A320 and is one of this ng's more readable posters.

Ah, The Sun. An always reliable source of information...


I see that page 3 still has some interesting stuff.

It's only a matter of hours before they connect the crash to Global
Warming and George Bush.


The Sun? It's a Murdoch paper, isn't it? They don't do that!

they just do Page three.



The Sun will probably have it tied into "Diana´s murder" and Maddie´s
kidnapping by the end of the week.

Hmm, what am I missing here!


Different thread, same character.

Oh, one more thing: We don't know the engines "shut down" as you put
it. As you seem to care a great deal about aircraft safety, why not
try some accuracy?

Hey, comon, cut the guy some slack. Here he's come up with a
perfectly plausable solution, and you guys can't accept it.


I can accept it, that isn't the issue.

I was merely citing the article which begins with, "Transport
Department investigators are probing the possibility a crossed line
diverted a call to the Boeing 777, interfering with its computers and
shutting down the engines."

Ergo, that isn't my verdict (for the want of a better term).

And the article itself is all of ten sentences with no apparent
theorizing by the journalist but more a collage of cites of among
others a Boeing engineer and an incident involving an inadvertent call
transfer into an airplane flight deck.


Funny, I don't remember seeing a phone in the flight deck.

I'll have a good ol look around tomorrow.

Who's picking away at anyone? It's not his idea, he said so.

If your excuse is, 'his other sins, on other occasions', then you owe
him an apology.

But the article post was appreciated my me, and perhaps, me alone



The sun is perhaps the biggest asswipe of a newspaper I've ever seen.

People who read it and believe anything in it should be disqualified form
voting. Especially in a country that has nuclear weapons and a habit of
embarking on idiotic military adventures.

What I also meant to ask is...

and can any data links or phone patchs be ground initiated?



No.
We can get the phone signal in the headset IF the phone is real close and
it can fire of xponder responses, period.

I confess to getting worn to a frazzle about such matters years ago
until it dawned that unless I'm being attacked over the truth, it
doesn't matter at all. Ditto over the past few days too. If people get
worked up and irksome, howsoever warranted or otherwise, over
inaccurately used words and vent diatribe, too bad. But the seriously
good side-effect of it all is that I think my conveyancing may
actually be improving all the time


God, what was it like before?


BTW, who's irked? Someone has waaay to high an opinion of his opinion.
