the code, no reason to land. that retransmits data back to the air traffic control. they tell you what code to put in. we routinely change them in flight. all right, i hope i m pronouncing this right, how do we know the flight was reprogrammed? the data transmitter. you have various ways of actually putting information into the computer. we talked about the way points. but as you put a way point, you may want a diversion that is in vietnam instead of malaysia because it is closer. if you put it in it doesn t necessarily mean it is going on the route. it doesn t mean that the flight director will you said you had asking you a question, you had one question. i have had a number of these questions, thank you very much. basically, a lot of people are asking why did the orions have to come out two hours later and fly back again.
and where was he practicing? that might give us a clue where the plane is. why did he delete them? is that standard operating procedure? now, bute f.b.i. was looking at they re not. meanwhile, breaking news last night, if you saw it during the kelly file, we told you famously now that the copilot said just before the handoff to the next country, he said, all right, good night. he said that to one of the air traffic controllers. now we know that apparently his airplane was programmed to make that big turn 12 minutes before he talked to the flight controller. so in other words, the copilot could have said, if something bad was happening, he could have said, look, we re going to go to the west. i made a left. we ve program add new way point. he didn t say anything. so that does suggest there is more evidence pointing to the pilot, the copilot being involved in the disappearance. just real quick, elisabeth,
many key strokes, okay, so let s say it is x, y, z, way point. would you turn a wheel under this situation i would be on auto pilot so i would do exactly that. to program it into the computer next to you that basically tells the auto pilot what you need to do. and what he seems to be reporting is only an experienced pilot with the triple 7 could do that. you agree with that? i agree, but i m going somewhere with this. this could have been a diversion way point way point is a point of destination? it is an imaginary point in the sky which is on a route. but they may have been putting in a diversion way point and trying to go direct to it while they were dealing with a problem. and so what you say, catastrophe strikes, they realize something is wrong. they realize they need to get off their route, which at this
forgive me i like to keep it simple. as a pilot if you want to mick a u-turn do you turn a wheel? i d do that. if you, you program it into the little computer pad that sits next to you. that is just telling auto pilot what you need to do? exactly. what he seems to be reporting only an experienced pilot could do that sure do you asglee i agree but i m going somewhere with this this could have been a diversion way point. a point, imaginary point in the sky on a route they may have been putting in a diversion way point. you re saying catastrophe strikes and realize they need to get off the route.
matter how high the plane goes. i used to fly over 13,000 feet and we had an altitude switch that had raise the point at which, if the cabin goes above 10,000 feet, the oxygen mask deploy. the pilot would have to wear oxygen right? this is all speculation because no one any knows anything really. now there is a suggestion that this was pre-programmed. why would that be? pre-programmed just means someone entered a way point in the flight management system. if the automated communication
