voice recorder, it picks under the ambient sowrnld as well. ambient sound as well. they will listen for the stall warning. the stall warning would go off and that would give you an idea. these devices are going to lead the investigation. you hopefully put this together and you will get some finality. there will be warnings going off in the background. every one of them has a distinctive sound. even if there is a stall there will be always recovery to a stall. we need to know the ground track and the more zorntal have lossity of the aircraft. and and the horizontal
if you put a marble in a bowl it comes to a stop. that s what an airplane will do if it s disturbed seek back to its trimmed air speed. this very well could have flown with no auto pilot inputs at all which would also explain a much further left turn than would have been on auto pilot when it passed the last programmed way-point it would have just continued on the same ground track it was on until it ran out of gas. that s why i think the auto pilot was out. the two things, the pitch changes and the fact that the headings swung around as far down to the southwest as it did, very likely scenario that that could have happened and all communications systems, transponder, radios, acars, if there was some sort of problem with an electrical fire in that center pedestal area or supply for those things that would have been knocked out. which we may very well have had a zombie airplane flying across the country, aka payne stewart s crash. bill, i don t think you buy this theory, do you? fir

waypoint that was programmed into the flight management system, it will go into the mode where it will fly the last assigned ground track and keep going on that heading until essentially what will probably happen or may have happened, until the airplane runs out of gas. it wouldn t require inputs. it s an automatic mode. the boeing and rockwell and honeywell built into that system and that s what it will do. that s a good question. that is being talked about. the next one is for you. this tweet from marie. she writes what is the range capabilities of the black box ping. how close would a searcher have to be to hear it? pretty close unfortunately. depending upon the conditions, to three miles maybe. they have to go back across it. that s why they sometimes use submercibles. under water vessels to hear the wing. we know the battery life runs
