MH-370

This investigation, unlike others, has been filled with inconsistencies, missteps, and contradictions, resulting in a delay of locating the aircraft, while prolonging the heartbreak of the families of the 239 passengers and crew on board.

There is one set of data. The data has not changed in over 100 days. The interpretation, understanding, and use of the data, has varied, leading to different conclusions.

Notable problems are:

                                Malaysia

• Delays in issuing any information
• Conflicting reports of altitude
• Conflicting initial reports of heading
• Change in target area to search
• Refusal to release two-way radio transcript and communications
• Initial report of last words of crew “All right, Good night”
• Release of transcript, showing completely different final transmission
• Release of edited composite audio recording of two-way radio transmissions
• Refusal to share their method of analysis in determining computed final airplane location

                                     Australia

• Not demanding reference pinger charts from manufacturers
• Initially characterizing received sounds as pinger transmissions
• Rationalizing that received frequency unlike normal pinger frequency was different because of water temperature, distance, terrain, etc.
• For 2 hour-20 minute “acquisition, misinterpretation of 8,400 “pinger” sounds

Where do we go from here? The data have been re-analyzed by the Australians as well as an independent group of engineers. New assumptions of speed, heading, altitude and fuel consumption lead to new predicted target areas. Also, a new closer look at heading has led to a new conclusion that the plane’s autopilot hmay have been engaged on the final leg of the flight. Time will tell.

I can’t wait to have a look at the data from the cockpit voice recorder, and flight data recorder, when located.
