We have lost contact again. Funny airlines at the moment. Now it's 11 am....time to begin searching the Indian Ocean.
Und der Haifisch der hat Tränen
Und die laufen vom Gesicht
Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser
So die Tränen sieht man nicht
In der Tiefe ist es einsam
Und so manche Träne fliesst
Und so kommt es dass das Wasser
In den Meeren salzig ist
Und die laufen vom Gesicht
Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser
So die Tränen sieht man nicht
In der Tiefe ist es einsam
Und so manche Träne fliesst
Und so kommt es dass das Wasser
In den Meeren salzig ist

Re: AirAsia flight from Indonesia to Singapore loses contact
Is there no way a location device can be fitted to aircraft that is strong enough to send a signal regardless its location and also not be in any way tampered or interfered with?
Re: AirAsia flight from Indonesia to Singapore loses contact
These systems, e.g. external black box, permanent satellite connection......exist already, but airlines do not use it at this time because they say that not enough airplanes are actually disappearingKung-fu Hillbilly wrote:Is there no way a location device can be fitted to aircraft that is strong enough to send a signal regardless its location and also not be in any way tampered or interfered with?

Methinks a small investment in said external black box manufacturers may warrant investigation in the new year.Francis wrote:These devices, e.g. external black box, permanent satellite connection......exist already, but airlines do not use it at this time because they say that not enough airplanes are actually disappearingKung-fu Hillbilly wrote:Is there no way a location device can be fitted to aircraft that is strong enough to send a signal regardless its location and also not be in any way tampered or interfered with?
As an aside, how typically corporate to be retro active in these things as apposed to pro-active.

Re: AirAsia flight from Indonesia to Singapore loses contact
I'm pretty sure not fitting a black box is in direct contravention of IATA rules and gives the families of passengers a great avenue to sue Air Asia.
Let's hope...

dirty muslims.
Re: AirAsia flight from Indonesia to Singapore loses contact
of course they have black box... and the plane can be located...
when saying "lost contact" it means, the tower/controller don't have replies anymore. for some reason, weather or others... though, they wont publish any radio communication problems to the news...
imo, when there is a statement saying "lost contact", it means, they don't see it anymore on the radar and its not possible to locate it otherwise.
the plane is down.
normally, perhaps in asia its different due to the network of posts/satellites...?

Do you think that Obama will say that they strongly believe that North Korea was involved again?
