That the malaysian 370 was at. we are beginning to take off. we are heading down the runway. everything you see mitchell doing is everything that the pilot and co-pilot would have been doing. i'm in the co-pilot seat. it is designed to mirror exactly the course. mitchell was just putting in all the coordinates that we will follow. we have followed their course. we will go with their altitude and move at the plane's speed. all of this to design and give you the feel of what they were going through. we can only go so far. there is the point where the plane simply seems to have stopped and we hav...

Minutes to an hour ago and following the highway in the sky. we're on this pink line right here you can see on the navigation system. the reason we're not touching the controls is just like 370, we're on automatic pilot. we're currently up at an altitude of 35,000 feet. so everything that we know about the plane at the time it disappeared, we are sort of re-creating and reliving here. let's talk about some vital equipment. a lot has been said about the transponder. where is it here? it is actually located right here, right beside me. relatively small and looks rather obscure but vitally import...

All right. we're going to go back to martin savidge and pilot mitchell in a flight simulator and now flying beyond the point, right, martin, of where they lost track of that malaysia airliner. >> right. we've gone now probably about, oh, just, the area where roughly this aircraft was last known to report. so, we went around that. we can come back it it, again, if we want. it's a simulator, you can do whatever you want, but the point is we designed this whole experiment here, if you will, to emulate in every way that we could, including the outside being dark the flight of 370. the altitude is ...

Approaching 1,000. here is our speed. the goal is to eventually get to 35,000 feet. that's the last known altitude we knew and very shortly, here, mitchell is going to put us into autopilot, because the plane was flying at auto-pilot when it was last referenced. this was everything as it was happening a it was happening that night as we knew it. let's point out something pretty important here. the transponder. it was apparently for some reason off. why did it go off? here it is, this little device, looked small, make look inobjecti inobjecting -- innocuant. they need to predict where that is g...

Asking why the transponder's off, why we put that code in. they're going to think it is a hijacking. >> we should point out, carol, allegedly, that has not happened. we have not had any reports that that emergency code was used. one last thing we're on auto pilot. if i want today change course, as it suggested the plane did. if i did this, that's the alarm that tells me, the autopilot has been disengaged. i can turn it off and put us back on course. so, in other words, you can can't take this plane off course without somebody in the cockpit knowing. >> a lot of people asked me via tweet, why c...
