True.
The JACC is using AF447 as an example of how difficult this search is. They are also deploying the same equipment and technology that helped find AF447 after 2 years of searching. There are rumours within the industry that the IIT will use another incident in 2005 where another aircraft had disappeared from radar due to a ADIRU failure. The only problem is this aircraft stayed on course and landed at its destination.
I already explained what AF447 has to do with MH370. The experts in the JACC are not wrong and they are experts whereas you are an IDIOT!
So let's get this straight. We can either listen to Angus Houston who was a RAAF pilot for 40 years and Chief of Defence or Australia's top military leader, or a lemon cake baker who reads Woman's Weekly like you!
I'm sorry, but you or anyone else cannot use AF447 as an example in trying to explain the difficulties faced with investigators searching for MH370, because they need to FIRST find the wreckage of MH370 BEFORE they can set a forecast how long it might take them to find the Black Boxes of MH370, as in the case of AF447. By trying to use AF447 as an example prematurely, would lead someone with some common sense to suspect that the investigators of the MH370 are trying to buy more time to find the wreckage of flight MH370, let alone the Black Boxes of the MH370, by 2 years to be exact. They are shamelessly using one tragedy to cover up their screw-up in another. It's quite disgusting in fact.
Well I am and not only this, but the IIT is actually using AF447 and citing this as another example to justify one of the confirmed impending findings.
They also had difficulty finding AF447. The search took 2 years and as a result, the IIT are calling on regulators to review aircraft tracking systems such as Underwater Locator beacons and Electronic Locator Beacons.
There are parallels you are just too stubborn to see past your nose.
Furthermore, they are not using AF447 to forecast how long it will take them to find MH370. They are aware that it could take a lot longer but then again, it could be found within a month because the search still continues in the vicinity of the 4 detections and they. If anything, they are saying that the search is a lot more difficult for MH370, and that is the truth. To begin with they never even hard a start point and the aircraft was flown thousands of kms away from its planned track and if you can't understand the difficulties that this poses, then I really can't help you.
Also, even if they do find wreckage, then it is not going to be much hope nearly 2 months after the event. it is likely, that any wreckage will be thousands of kms away from the crash site and that is not going to help the IIT much. They are better off guesstimating using proper scientific Aircraft Performance Analysis and continue with the hard task of surveying the ocean floor.
Ane even if they do find debris, you are going to accuse them of planting the evidence!
For the last time, it did not take 2 years to find the wreckage of AF447. They knew where it was because they found the debris floating in just ONLY few days along with about 20 bodies, including the captains'. At this point MH370 has ZERO relevance to AF447 because thus far no debris or wreckage has been found. Don't confuse floating debris with wreckage at the bottom of the sea. Any MH370 debris found now will have ZERO help in locating the wreckage at the bottom of the sea. If the aircraft sank without breaking up first, then it could be anywhere at the bottom of the sea, “gliding” under the water very slowly for miles until finding it’s resting point.
Of course every accident examined for the purpose of improving airline safety is welcomed and lessons learnt from AF447 are valuable, even if they had not been implemented, like why haven't they already started sending data from the Black Boxes live to satellites for information to be stored on land rather than looking for Black Boxes of AF447 for 2 years at great cost?
I have a question for you, Paphitis. Do the Black Boxes send ping signals ALL the time when the plane is in normal use, or is it activated when the unit's main power supply is cut off and the batteries take over as in the case of a crash? The reason I ask is, if the plane did sink intact, at what point would the Black Boxes start sending ping signals? Is it upon contact with water or if on land, upon when the main power source is cut off?
As for your YouTube video on the model used for ditching, it really does not help how the B-777 would have acted under same conditions, because the module used was something similar to military cargo transporter C-17, which has a flat bottom that is designed in landing on dirt runways, has a high wings unlike the B-777, even though most of the time the engines did get ripped off, and last but not least, the C-17 has a "T" shape tail, which the water did not come close to even getting it wet, unlike the horizontal stabilizers on a B-777 would be in the water along with the wings, which would play a major role in how the whole aircraft would react once making contact with water.
The pilot would have greater chance of ditching the plane at the best possible conditions when under power, but if he was gliding for the ditching, then that would be a whole different ball game altogether. And since we were told that the plane had used more fuel that believed and the search area was moved about 600 miles further north, then one can ONLY deduce from that, that the plane run out of fuel, and that's assuming that the person at the controls would want to stay alive and try and save the plane by making a “Hudson River” landing. But lets say that he did make a perfect intact landing to save himself, then logic would indicate that he would then bail out of the plane by taking the life raft attached to the door and cast himself off from the plane, taking into the account that everyone aboard were dead before the ditching. Then the question arises, as to why no emergency signals such as the EPIRPs were sent from the floating raft when contact is made with water. You see my friend, whichever way you turn, it only raises more questions.
