Search teams are racing to find the flight recorders of the missing Malaysia Airlines plane before the exercise becomes a prolonged midwest express airline fares and potentially costly one resembling the search for Air France Flight 447, experts midwest express airline fares say.
"The battery life of the locator lasts 30 days. If they cannot find it within this window, it will become very hard to locate," said Professor Alan Lau Kin-tak, of Hong Kong Polytechnic midwest express airline fares University's engineering department.
David Newbery, a Hong Kong flight captain and accredited aircraft midwest express airline fares accident investigator, said search teams faced similar difficulties when investigating the disappearance of the Air France Flight 447 over the south Atlantic in June 2009. The black boxes were found two years later.
The two shoebox-sized devices, midwest express airline fares thought to be indestructible, are located towards the tail of most aircraft. One is a digital flight data recorder midwest express airline fares which documents parametric data such as airspeed, altitude, heading, pitch and instrumental readings such as cabin pressure and engine temperature. The other device records the dialogue and radio communication in the cockpit.
Downloading the data readings from the recorders would help investigators learn if Flight MH370 exploded - one of several midwest express airline fares theories raised- or suffered a sudden loss of cabin pressure through a hole in the fuselage, Lau said.
The two boxes, which are actually coloured bright vermillion, are built to withstand an impact of up to 3,400 times the force of gravity and temperatures up to 1,000 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes, midwest express airline fares he said.
In Hong Kong, commercial airliners are required to have one of each box installed. The voice recorder must record at least two hours of cockpit communication, while the flight data recorder must be able to record at least 25 hours of data.
Warren Chim Wing-nin, honorary secretary of the Hong Kong Institute midwest express airline fares of Engineers aircraft division, said the technology would be hard to implement because of the sheer amount of data from the flight recorders that would have to be managed and processed.
A spokeswoman for the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department said a plan to require real-time flight data from an aircraft to be transmitted to a ground receiver station for storage had been proposed after the Air France incident.
Cathay Pacific Airways did not respond as to whether the airline would incorporate real-time flight data transmission. But it said positions of their aircraft were regularly communicated throughout flight via aircraft communications addressing and reporting system (ACARS) messaging systems.
I see two major issues which are becoming more problematic about this tragic event. Of course midwest express airline fares one being the missing midwest express airline fares aircraft. The other and probably growing to be an even greater problem, is the credibility and public relations disaster by Malaysian Airlines itself. The latter can be more of an issue simply because you have families who have been on an emotional roller coaster ride and can t come to closure until they have answers, honest answers. I spent a better part of 20 yrs. with a reputable major airline in the U.S. and we were taught above anything else that your honesty will take you further than dishonesty. I really have to question that honesty with Malaysian Airlines and or the government of Malaysia at this point. And, frankly when you re talking about Malaysian Airlines you are also talking about the government because midwest express airline fares it is state owned.
A cost cutting exercise was done,putting the lives of passengers at grave risk ,as the black box was not equipped with the satellite transmitter,so that it the signals from it could be picked up,even though the battery expired in 30 days. An area for passengers rights ,and the passengers should have been informed about it,before they decided to fly .
It s unbelievable that even with modern technology these days that allow us to track our smartphones even after it is lost our stolen, there is not proper technology in place for tracking something as large as an airplane in the event such as this one..................I am starting to strongly suspect that the plane was shot at during it s flight and some country is trying very hard to cover up their humungous ****-up .....................Otherwise, if it was something else, I really feel sorry for the passengers that have been captive in whatever state for the last four days.
