Yes but these possibilities do not take into consideration the 7 Handshake Pings with Inmarsat. If MH370 ended earlier then these pings would not occur.
Yes it is true, that without a Transponder the aircraft would be unidentified. The question more to the point is why they did not bother with identifying the target. I can accept that it was not deemed a risk and the aircraft was in Class A Airpsace and not military so perhaps the military presumed that the aircraft was under Malaysian ATC and in hand which is reasonable enough. However, at Air Traffic control Centers there is always a military attachment, and the military should have made a phone call to Malaysian ATC to ask about the unidentified aircraft and whether they knew anything about it or whether there was Flight Plan Lodged. The military should have attempted to contact the aircraft and asked it to turn their Transponder ON and to SQAWK a Code. If they did not reply, then they should have intercepted the target.
This is what would have happened elsewhere, particularly in US, Australia, or China.
But that is Military Intelligence for you. May I remind you that in 911, the US Military stood by and allowed 4 airliners to deviate from their course. They had no idea what was going on until it was too late. Probably because no one expects such things to occur.
it seems you haven't done the check on the handshakes graph i told you about. do it and i am sure you will get your answers..
ok i accept your explanation that under normal circumstances it would be near impossible to shoot down a passenger plane on purpose.
but accidents do happen.imagine a self guided missile falling of the jet.what would it do? search for the nearest target and go hit it
I have looked at it Pyro but I am certainly not qualified to comment on how Inmarsat did their calculations or the Doppler Effect.
These things are best left to the experts and I have no doubt that their findings will be published within the preliminary report which only the Malaysian Government can release.
Inmarsat from what I understand is not allowed to reveal this information. The data is apparently Boeing property which makes sense.
It's also stuff the Airlines and Regulators don't want revealed too much because it is sensitive, it reduces safety and knowledge of increases the chance of possible hijackings similar to 911. The whole world knows now how aircraft are tracked, how the Transponder and ADS-B can be disabled and how it is also possible to disable ACARS. I would presume that after AF447 and MH370, some new methods will be introduced and perhaps regulators will this time act on the findings.
It would be nice if Inmarsat would throw open its spreadsheets and help resolve the issue right now, but that could be too much to expect. Inmarsat may be bound by confidentiality agreements with its customers, not to mention U.S. laws that restrict the release of information about sensitive technologies. The Malaysian authorities, however, can release what they want to—and they seem to be shifting their stance toward openness. After long resisting pressure to release the air traffic control transcript, they eventually relented. Now acting transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein says that if and when the black boxes are found, their data will be released to the public.
I think you will find that the above is in fact very correct.
Now envisage a group of a new breed of terrorists in training camps in remote parts of Pakistan coming to a flight near you.
