>> yes. i've heard about that and apparently there is some type of an app that was developed for that purpose. i think the person who developed that app is probably going to be asked very hard questions in the very near future. however, it's typically the simplest explanation is the correct one and to me, the fact that the acar system was turned off about 14 minutes before the transponders were turned off and in the interim, you had a human being on the radio acting quite calm, suggests to me that there was no cyber attack going on. in fact, it suggests that the plane or whoever was operating ...

Also, the satellite communication element of acar which is available technically but not all airlines describe to it because it is expensive. i don't know whether malaysian airlines subscribed to the satellite communication. it appears from what i've heard, it appears that maybe at one point they subscribed to it. the airplane was properly equipped with that capability. but it seems to me that currently they're not subscribing to that satellite communication aspect of acars. >> so, then, hans, what about the signals or the pings from the cockpit. what are they looking for depending on if the p...

Uttered those words or after. joining us crash investigator matt robinson and former 777 pilot jesse bicson. welcome to both of you. if you wanted to evade radar as a former 777 pilot, could you do that? is that typical training of a 777 pilot? how could you go about preparing yourself to do this? >> well, it's not typical training and they don't teach us how to evade radar. but as pilots we do know what is required to have an aircraft intear -- interrogated from the corridor. the acar system is crucial because that acar system is basicalli' gives a position report to the company as to what al...

Communication systems, the transponders were both deliberately turned off. on top of that, now with the time line, it shows that the pilot or whoever was in the cockpit speaking to ground control at the time, that line all right, good night came after the transponders, the acar system was switched off. it suggests what ever was happening, it was in play when that final statement came from the plane. good night, all right. now, this investigation isn't just on the two. there's no presumption of guilt here. there is -- this is a solid investigation looking at eliminating suspects if you like. th...
