Something is definitely wrong here.It will be interesting to hear what Boeing has to say.

Thank you for this clarity.I will now use AFFIRM not AFFIRMATIVE.I started flying in 2005 in South Africa,we were using AFFIRMATIVE and ".........ready for Departure".It became weird to me when I came here around 2010 to just say "....................ready" when ready to enter the runway.It`s interesting to note at times we are copying the American way without realising how wrong it is.

This is real fun.

T-tailed aircraft have that high spin tendency.I remember the Piper Tomahawk P138 had lots of graves years ago.Its unfortunate when things happen if you mess with one critical aspect the results are not that forgiving.

conguratulations mate.

Well done.I had the same thing happen to me years ago.I think at times Instructors feel it`s best not to tell you in advance you are about to go solo.I would have been anxious myself if I had known a week before,I would be be going solo.The fun now starts,keep it up.

I knew dj will pick this one

The requirements are pretty straight forward but the English Proficiency Requirement if you do not meet it will mean not getting Radio Endorsement which will not give you CTA.They say it`s better to do it all at First Attempt.Instrument time is a must for Nav Endorsement.Like said above it`s easier to use a school which does both GA and Ra -Aus.If you do it in a Jab 230 then you will just sail through easily.

If it hit water at high speed they might need to at the Acoustic hydrophone signals again from Curtain University.Maybe the actual location is perpendicular to the assumed track.I believe its more North and probably west.

What I fail to understand is why the aircraft initiated a log request around 18:25hrs.If power had been lost,was the aircraft still straight and level or it was descending.If it was straight and level then on the final log on request didn`t we have the aircraft still straight and level.How can power be switched off to the SDU.Can it be done from the cockpit.I believe maybe 50-500miles North of the Broken Ridge is the resting place.

Now they are for a death dive.My question is if the aircraft hits water at that speed doesn't that activate the ELT like what happened with the Egypt Air plane unless of course the Beacon was not fitted.Something doesn't add up.I believe the crew turned back to land lowered some flap to control speed then somehow lost it and it crashed still with flaps down.How far would it have gone in that scenario

Curtain University`s information on the sea event should be further investigated.Remember they said the origin of that acoustic signal was close to Maldives.I think Search Leaders need to put pride aside if they are to be successful.The Doopler provided a good guess but because it has not been used before it might have lead to the wrong area.

I think this is the way to follow https://www.flickr.com/photos/106331196@N07/14155196430/in/album-72157644591711570/ Makes a lot of sense.

The case has been based on conspiracy theories.I think the biggest theory so far has been it went south.Unless Malaysia ordered the jet to fly south after an emergency and they feared since it still had about 7 hours worth of flying fuel they would not cope with that sort since it was at night.I want to support theories which say its somewhere out there whether destroyed or not,it will be found.

Back to the never ending story.It`s now suspected there might have been power outage to engines leading to another puzzel.I think if it was engine fire the crew might have shut up swithes in order to extinguish the fire which support the early sighting by the Oil rig worker and later by the English Sailor.This also might explain the loss of height detected by the Military Radar.Maybe one engine was shut down and the last engine shut down after fuel exhaustion.How far can a Boeing 777 travel on one engine and what will its speed be and how much fuel does it use.

I believe this one will be solved easily.Its only a matter of time when the report will be released.One of the press reports might have the answer.I dont remember where I read that someone pointed at a Mobile Tower.If the aircraft`s left wing hit the Tower due to low cloud which had caused reduced visibility,maybe thats where the answer is.

If you say that then we have a big problem with this Doppler technic.My thinking is if they the predicted flight path is right we should have similar not the same data logs.I am very worried when you say the trails have been done in the 18th and 19th century.That mean s this is all wrong.Were we that advanced to be doing this.This just comes back to raise questions on the accuracy of the technic.I think they have done a very good job to be able to have the arcs but then why not simply do a Trial and Error Method to see how it goes.To me we have a starting point and its cheap and very safe to check it out by sending a plane up there from Malaysia 45minutes later turn west later north west then somehow do a turn south.They should compare real time logs and see how it goes.That is why the scientist used a Control and Experiment to prove any aspect in question.Once they become certain its okay then they can throw whatever resource they have into it.

Flying the predicted arc will reveal if they got it right.If it is right then their data logs should match what they have assumed to be the flight path.If it goes off course then they will need to make adjustments.Trial and Error Method is the only way they can prove themselves right or wrong.Facthunter here said from the very first days they need to know the speed (more importantly ground speed) at which the aircraft was travelling at and its altitude.A slow flying aircraft would not have gone so far maybe halfway at most.

Eey eey I am tired now.Speculation after speculation.The Kiwi guy saw it guys.Did you read what the Emirates Boss said.He questioned where the Air force jets were.They should have intercepted the plane.I am trying to fall into a trance but failing.LOL.The English guy with that Marine research experience, remember he posted something that looked like the fin near an oil rig.What more do we want.This Inmarsat data seems to throw the equation out of hand.Could the Satellite still ping a sinking aircraft considering this sea is very shallow.Is it possible for waves to be transmitted in and out of shallow waters.Maybe long waves can. http://www.smh.com.au/business/aviation/malaysia-airlines-flight-mh370-where-were-the-fighters-asks-emirates-chief-20140602-39ehl.html

Its very easy to prove Inmarsat`s projected arcs.Its very cheap to prove if they are right.They should do a trial and error method by sending an aircraft with similar performance characteristics up in the air and make it to fly exactly the same route they have predicted and note how the satellite will be pinging that aircraft.This is a cheap to prove if they are right than keeping on scanning the sea bed in an area which is not 100% is right.The fishermen reported a low flying big aircraft with landing lights on, meaning the aircraft was in Landing Configuration thereby flying slow maybe around 250knts.If it was flying slow then the aircraft is not far from Malaysia itself.That route has been made with assumption of aircraft in cruise speed 450knts or more.I strongly believe the aircraft is more north maybe in Indonesian waters or land.

I found it.http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/05/why-the-official-explanation-of-mh370s-demise-doesnt-hold-up/361826/

Its interesting the search is based on the never used Doppler system.To be honest when I first heard about an unidentified aircraft on radar and a height gain to 45 000Ft then down to 5000ft in a short space of time I thought a fighter aircraft was involved.Logically a fighter aircraft has such performance.Maybe there was a mid air event.Someone might be down playing things here and whilst attention is in the southern Indian Ocean a clean up is being done somewhere.The information on pings pings pings says no the aircraft engines were running.Maybe Inmarsat should share its raw data with other scientists.One report has found out that when the first ping was made the aircraft was still on the apron.The second one was when the aircraft had just been pushed back.The explanation given is that the pings were actually between the satellite and ground station.The ground station being pinged is in WA.This flight was at night and it would have involved great skill to bring the plane down whole in the Ocean.The Australian JORN has a radius of about 3000km hence it should be able to be a bit precise on pin pointing where they suspect it went down.Maybe if Australia could publicly share its information.The satellite that was receiving pings was not stationary it was orbiting north to south so in some instances they projected the plane moving further away it was in fact the satellite going the other way .This is very tricky.What ever the outcome tremendous effort has been put.The Malaysian Radar detects the plane turning Northwest towards Bay of Bengal or Andaman sea.Maybe there is some crucial information which has not been publicly shared which hold the answer.

If they find it there Inmarsat will be in big trouble.I am of the idea that going to where it happened and search that whole area might help.Lets forget the pings and assume an engine fire on the left wing which damages the left wing.The right engine is powering suddenly the aircraft yaws left.The left wing breaks off and the plane plunges down.The Oil rig worker`s claim might be very valid. That was one idea.There too many possibilities which could have been looked into but the information of pings dominated everything else such that other areas which could have provided clues became irrelevant.If the Australian JORN picked something then its justified.

All of us want this plane to be found,true.My point however is we dont have to rely on science only.The world has become a factual one such that if someone out there has a spiritual revelation of where the plane actually is,he /she will be thwarted because its difficult to physically prove spiritually revealed things in a factual world.One question is was the satellite that received the pings stationary/hovering over one place.My understanding is when you are in space the earth tends to take a mirror image sort of perspective.So having the southern and northern arc was accurate but then the question is which way should the arcs have been facing west or east.We have all heard of the Australian Satellite System which is powerful.Did it detect anything in our zone.

Alf the Spiritual side I believe in does not deal with riches as in predicting lotto numbers.I dont intend to make this Forum a pulpit. God would be so kind to point us in the right direction if we sought Him on this one
