Aircraft would have been in a stall position. but if you look at that screen grab down in the bottom right-hand corner it says 535, which is the indicated air speed, clld be awhich would be a normal speed, not a stall speed. >> so that isn't too slow that isn't -- i read somewhere it was 100 knots too slow to maintain flight in an ascent no? >> right. that's what was reported. but converting the knots there's there -- but ground speed and air speed are two different things in terms of winds aloft. indicated air speed is what keeps that aircraft in the air, not ground speed. it has to do with t...

It's the most modern technology to look into a thunderstorm and determine where the severe areas you cannot go are and where the areas are where it's just potentially light precipitation, where you can go safely. >> right. what we do know is the pilot asked to go higher. air traffic control said no you can divert to the left but you can't go any higher. it was three, four minutes after that that they lost contact with the plane. that's a very short period of time. what does that tell you? >> well something occurred very quickly. we know the airplane did, in fact start the left turn. we know th...

Before it stalls. so you do run into that situation. but as long as you're not experiencing a lot of airplane upset in the form of turbulence you're still in an okay situation as long as you're monitoring the power for the airplane and how the systems are operating. >> you raise an interesting point, because i was talking to a friend and colleague who is an aviation expert in australia, and he made that point. said he'd been looking at the radar information that was available and said they were at 36,300 feet and climbing, doing 353 knots and that there were some in the industry who said that ...

What happened. i can tell you flightaware, the flight trafficking website that tracks all jets in the air at all times, has updated this flight path and it now indicates that the jet actually came down much closer to the russian border than previously stated. there are a number of reasons this could have happened and the most likely according to those who are watching this is that whenever it was struck or whatever happened, there was a glide path that happened after the strike that made it land many miles closer to the russian border than it would have been. this is the path from the website....

But the airline industry, as has been said, is under so much financial pressure. it needs -- it needs to be mandated by icao for the whole industry to move forward. >> arthur, one of the arguments against using live streaming data is too many planes transmitting too much information. do you buy that? >> i do not. and there's a very simple solution for it. instead of streaming all the information that's contained in a flight data recorder, you limit the stream to basic information like air speed, like altitude, like -- like ground speed, like position. and then if an airplane goes off an assign...
