would have been able to make it to pakistan. could it remain stealthy and undetected? the acars was turned off. the transponder was turned off. i do believe that the indian radar may have picked it up, i do believe it would be quite difficult to get the aircraft to pakistan, in my opinion. >> let me ask this, the fact that the transponders were turned off, i mean, you have flown the 777. is that something that a person could just accidentally do, some doofs in the cockpit hitting the button, or is that something that requires a very specific, targeted and intensional action on the part of someone in the cockpit? >> well, in the 777s i flew, the transponder control mogual had multiple positions. it's not just an on/off button. it would require human input to consciously turn that switch to the stand by mode.
