Missing flight 370 is a control issue

Why is this question not asked..

Is it not possible the aircraft could have flown into the ionosphere?

2) How? improper entry into the flight management system, data transfer across different platforms or failed sensors that govern altitude or pressure.

3) Once entry into this region, it is known that signal reliability degrades, Coordinates become corrupted and electro magnetic storm within controllers and inductive sensors are possible.

It has already been shown that reliance and complacency on automation, can contribute to accidents. example the most recent 777 crash in San Francisco.

Long haul pilots today...program the flight management systems and snooooooooze.
 
it is certainly not the first passenger craft to be lost under similar circumstances

What is astonishing, is that even a $500US cell phone in a tail, completely separate from the planes electrical system that jettisoned on crashing, and capable of floating and operating for a month or more, is not mandatory.

Believe such a device was actually made and patented in Canada during the 1960's, but no airline wanted it....suspect the insurance companies will start demanding it now...

It is not possible. The ionosphere starts at about 280,000 feet. That particular jet, with its current weight and engine capabilities, it not physically capable of flying higher than about 45,000 feet, less than 1/6 of the altitude necessary to reach the bottom of the ionosphere.

Thanks....I had no clue as to the flying characteristics of these aircraft.

The idea of the jettison-able tale beacon should get some focus. If the plane had a smooth splash down, tipped over by the drag on the engines and immediately sunk, we would know it's out there.

Lastly...., doesn't ionospheric effects have shapes that extends to earth?

I wonder! If units for scale entry (Ft/Mt/Km)into the FMS was correct, If applicable.

Using the turbine CPD (engine data) and the transponders data returns before comm loss, we could verify accuracy of altimeter workings.

Asiana wrote in the filing made public by U.S. accident investigators that the Boeing 777 had major design flaws that led the pilots to believe it would keep flying at the proper speed and failed to warn the cockpit crew in time when it did not

Some how... I feel, we will never find that plane.

Multatuli. Squence of events.


1) Altimeter readings incorrect: Pilot(transcript)MLA370 35,000ft, Secondary radar 45,000FT

2) Aircraft steady climb into low atmosphere, causing slow on-set of hypoxia to all.

3) Engine CPD (compressor discharge pressure) and bleed air to the cabin HVAC. Variable air volume control equalized.

4) Greater affinity for oxygen from the engines left the cabin oxygen deprived; Even possibly more so in the cockpit, because of the smaller area.

5) NO ANNUNCIATION on panel instruments, because no pressure drop inside cabin.

6) Last voice transmission from cockpit was unrecognizable, because of low air density inside the lungs and on-set of hypoxia. In most cultures, good night is said only when going off to sleep.

7) Range issues and possible ionospheric conditions caused communication loss.


8) First change in direction could have been pilot emergency declaration or pre-programmed flight paths & radar way points that were no longer discoverable.

9) Possible engine surges could have quickened total oxygen depletion killing everyone at high altitude.

10) Final path of jet could have been as a result of, pre-programmed secondary weigh points coordinates.

It could also have been put out to sea deliberately, upon recognizing the magnitude of the tragedy.
