ways an airplane does what this airplane did. he had to actually keep the pilot outside of the cockpit door by holding down a button that overrides the code path. and he had to reprogram the fms. let me explain this because there are literally three buttons, unlock normal and lock. correct. he had to literally put it in the lock position. in the override position to override that code. that pilot from trying to get in. that s correct. so that means the pilot otherwise would have been able to get in. nor do i think the co-pilot on his own would descend in what is a gradual descent right? certainly not that stage in the flight. they were at cruise. they were at 38000. they were expected to stay there. the next thing we know the flight management system is being reprogrammed to start to descent all the way down to the surface. brian do you agree with that? it seems to me that there s too many the plane didn t descent didn t make this descent on its own. obviously the
to get in. nor do i think the co-pilot on his own would descend in what is a gradual descent right? certainly not that stage in the flight. they were at cruise. they were at 38000. they were expected to stay there. the next thing we know the flight management system is being reprogrammed to start to descent all the way down to the surface. brian do you agree with that? it seems to me that there s too many the plane didn t descent didn t make this descent on its own. obviously the co-pilot made that decision, they heard him breathing. but that doesn t prove he s conscious, right? well, it doesn t. but i agree though this was a deliberate act. he was breathing normally. he was making a conscious effort to stop the pilot from entering into the cockpit. so i think and the descent was a normal it was semirapid, but pretty much normal descent. it was a normal controlled descent, right? exactly. and i think that supports the proposition that this was a deliberate act.
