Without Preprogramming News Today

Other satellite reports. id like to follow up on what kit darby just said. the issue back when i recall it was the rumor of the day last week and the week before, the flight having been preprogrammed. the basis for that rumor at the time, i remember, "the flight turned too smoothly to be hand flown by the pilot. must have been a new way point or route. i questioned at the time, the radar, the edge of the zone of that radar, if they couldnt tell for sure what it was doing, how could they tell it ...

Doing at any time and it sends it to the ground. acars sent the last transmission at 1:07 a.m. it was expected to send another transmission at 1:37 a.m. but that never happened. malaysian officials said they dont know exactly when the acars systems went off in that 30-minute window. we did learn when it sent last communication there was nothing to indicate in the last communication pilots preprogrammed the turn to the west of thats one of todays key new developments. i want to bring back panel, ...

A turn he pilots say deliberate without nefarious, youre investigating something like this. they get say you had your fbi hat on again. how would that change your calculus most likely explanation as to why the plane disappeared? >> i dont know that it would change anything. so many contradictory statements. now were going on two weeks and cant tell if the plane turned, in the hands of the pilot or autopilot. now they are saying it wasnt preprogrammed when they never knew for sure it was. i think...

Daily beast" and kit darby, former airline pilot, retired airline pilot himself. i wonder if we could begin with this new information from the malaysian authorities. there is no indication at least of preprogramming of that turn to the west. doesnt mean it wasnt done on purposish at least preprogramming. i wonder if i could start with you, kit, as a retired commercial airline pilot yourself. the turn could still be dlibd, of course, even if it was not preprogrammed. it could still be dlieliberat...

The investigation. the idea no indication from the acars data, wireless transmission of data from the plane that the plane was preprogrammed. i have clive next to me. youre experienced in these issues. as tom reminded, it wasnt just acars transmission that turned out to be false that gave an indication, its that the plane flew steady by way points, less likely for you or me if we were experienced pilots to handle than an autopilot. arent there ways for the pilot without preprogramming, turning t...

They did not find anything. they found a wooden pallet with strapping belts, pallets used in the airline industry but also used in shipping. its not clear where this pallet came from. also malaysian authorities clarified what was in that last transmission from the acars communication system at 1:07 minutes before the plane had its last communication with the ground. officials say it showed nothing unusual and the plane was at that point still headed for beijing. that undermines the theory that t...

On the immarsat they had provided coordinates to the researchers two days after the accident and where they are searching now. it also suggested more data from satellites and radar points to come. certainly more and more nations are providing information and assets to help in the search. of course youd also want to wrap up back at home base, if you will, on the issue of what was in the pilots information to close that door, that alleyway once and for all. what was in the maintenance records, any...

On my journey across america, ive learned that when you ask someone in texas if they want "big" savings on car insurance, its a bit like asking if they want a big hat... ...scuse me... ...or a big steak... ...or big hair... i think we have our answer. geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. welcome back. im jim sciutto in new york. theres been a lot of talk about acars communication system on airplanes. aircraft communication addressing and reporting sys...

Sinister about preprogramming before it disappeared. now were left with trying to conjecture whether it was a flown turn or computerized turn. before or after, it was deliberate and carefully flown turn in some kind of emergency, which would be the natural thing for the pilots to do. >> thats a key point. even in an emergency, a pilot might make a control turn. >> hes flying 500 miles an hour at 3200 feet. not like world war ii. you have packages to think about. >> a sudden event in the cockpit ...

Control of pilot on the yoke but turning the heading in which case the computer would still be flying the plane, autopilot under control and hit those way opponents we talked about perfectly. could you show us how that would work? >> go ahead, tell us. >> the autopilot is controlled through this panel. we call this the remote control panel. all it is, the number you see here is heading. degree magnetic this is compass, cartesian points, north, east, south, west. all you have to do is turn the no...
