Malaysia: All scenarios are open for the missing Boeing

The plane disappeared from radar screens on March 8 with 239 occupants. The researchers believe it is likely that it flew into the southern Indian Ocean.

Already, new systems developed by European and North American teams can make it possible to capture the precise position and routes of flight. These will use satellite radar sensor system instead of waiting for signals that contain data such as automated position and speed that are sent every second by the aircraft.

Currently, information on the position of an aircraft can be read from ground radar, which lose their coverage over oceans or remote locations. Even if the automated signals showing the location of the aircraft have been disabled, as can be the case in Malaysia, the new satellite systems can help the search and rescue efforts, while helping airlines to save fuel.

Meanwhile an American pilot has his own theory about the fate of the aircraft pursuant to which the pilot of the aircraft found problems within the aircraft, maybe smoke a few hours after takeoff, while he was over the South China Sea. He then looked for the nearest airport to land therefore planned a new destination and the autopilot turned the plane west.

He didn’t choose the airport of Kuala Lumpur, because he found himself in a closer distance. Meanwhile copilots sought the fire, but soon the cockpit filled with smoke, that left them unconscious, while the flames affected the whole system. The plane continued its course as planned, but consumed its fuels and crashed while it was over the Indian Ocean.
