Other satellite reports. i'd 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 couldn't tell for sure what it was doing, how could they tell it was smoothly. if it was a turbulent, hand done turn, how coot radar be that precise on one issue a...

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 don't 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 that's one of today's key new developments. i want to bring back panel, mary schiavo, ntsb, kit darby, retired airline pilot, head of a consulting firm. tom fuentes, for...

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. you're experienced in these issues. as tom reminded, it wasn't just acars transmission that turned out to be false that gave an indication, it's that the plane flew steady by way points, less likely for you or me if we were experienced pilots to handle than an autopilot. aren't there ways for the pilot without preprogramming, turning the dial, the heading. >> i think this underlines something, this plane does not disappear. what ...
