Do you mind if I add my two bob's worth in reply? And I am certainly no expert but do have a background in avionics engineering....

Also a pilot is still able to change heading and pitch (attitude) even with the autopliot engaged by use of the 'bug' on the Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) which would be built into the B777's Electronic Flight Instrumentation System (EFIS). Hope that helps. Craig H

Not sure if it has been mentioned above but I am hoping they find something like previous flight routes on the flight simulator that was confiscated from the pilots house that can lead them in the right direction.

No matter the cost it has to be investigated fully.
If this is terrorists and it was to happen again it could kill the aviation industry. Imagine what would happen if a couple more planes vanished like this. Every Airline would have to cancel all flights until they work out what is going on. |

Known as a CAT IIIb landing and is available on many runways , especially at airports subject to adverse phenomena such as fog. a data relationship between the aircraft and runway is established upon approach and guides the aircraft down unaided under certain conditions of pilot visability and aircraft size... A cat111c which I dont believe is in operation anywhere, will actually guide the aircraft to its standgate without pilot input JP |

Yes i am sure many of the staff are doing other work but expensesand cost will be much greater
example now I am know expert but all the search aircraft will be flying extra hours and that brings into service costs and many parts of air craft have to be replaced when they reach x amount of hour s and I would not like the fuel bill I bet there will be a blow out in that budget The one thing which will be a great advantage is the experience the search staff gain and extra knowledge will be a huge possitive Just sitting down and working out where to go next will be for some a entirly new experience and only done in training we do have to look at the positive side of things cannot just look at the negitive |

A comment in the Wall Street Journal says that if it had taken the 'northern route', it would have been intercepted (basically) by all manner of countries as it is heavily militarised airspace.

We have sent 2 Orion aircraft Which would most likely have 2 flight crew, and up to 6 Airborne Electronic Analysts in each plane. Whether they are looking for the missing plane or not the planes would be in the air because the air force use them to detect boat people on a daily basis. They spend a lot of time monitoring Asian shipping corridors. So either way the planes cost us money, but as far as we know there could still be people alive that they are searching for. |

I am sorry if it seemed negitive i was looking at the event as a whole the postive and negitive side of the really sad event
you will know that there has been several major crashes in the sea and it has taken time and new technology to be able to get the black boxes I can only hope if it has crashed it is not too deep and we get answers quicker than later |

I think it is the same planes just looking where they think it could be now. The government is considering sending more.
It makes you wonder if the countries searching for the plane, had of been working together from the start, would we have found it already. |

I think the most important thing now is to hope and pray that the entire situation is solved as soon as posible and then we can agrue till the cows come home about diferent ways to make sure that some thing like this does not happen again.
agreed? |

With where they are looking in those islands in the Indian Ocean, some of which are uninhabited, and some where you are not allowed on!
This sounds remarkably similar to the Plot of the TV show LOST!!! Maybe this pilot was some nutjob LOST fan and he's had a go at a recreation! |

I think we (Australia) need to up the ante a bit more now that the search is no longer confined to Malaysian waters or Malaysian airspace. We could sortie a submarine or two and a frigate from HMAS Stirling to see if they can pick up any transponder signals in deep water. We could also re-task the other AP-3 down here instead of continuing a red herring search in Malaysian waters.

That southern projected flight path off the coast of WA, is incredibly close to 'Diamantina Deep', the deepest point in the Indian Ocean, over 8 Kilometers down. Something to think about. |

Few days old. On going terror trial. Briefly mentions a pilot and Malaysian terrorists intentions, even if it was 13 years ago. |

A Hollywood stuntman, whose kung fu skills have been featured in films such as Fearless in which he doubled for martial arts actor Jet Li, is among the 239 passengers on a Malaysia Airlines flight that went missing more than a week ago.
Ju Kun was on his way to Beijing to see his two young children and intended to pick up materials for his current work project when MH370 disappeared on March 8, Malaysian tabloid The Star reported. The 35-year-old was scheduled to work on a new Netflix and Weinstein Company series Marco Polo in Malaysia. Advertisement "Ju Kun, who was on board, was an integral part of our production team and a tremendous talent. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time," the production company said in a statement. Read more: http://www.smh.com.au/world/jet-lis-...#ixzz2wDxnLVQF

Have heard from the maintenance ground crews that handle the airline that it was carrying gold in its cargo.

Professor of electrical engineering explains how the plane could have avoided radar. |

Here's an interesting theory from a person who reckons MH370 diverted at the same time a Europe-bound Singapore Airlines flight was moving through the area - and followed it to avoid radar

Anyone like to speculate how many submarines were in those waters?
I'm not an expert but I believe subs have the best tracking abilities, and I'm sure someone has that flight in its data retention now?
