The BBC’s Rupert Wingfield-Hayes finds out how to change a flight path in a cockpit simulator. A Malaysia Airlines flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing went missing on the morning of Saturday 8 March with 239 passengers and crew on board. Malaysian officials say the plane was intentionally diverted and could have flown on either a northern or southern arc from its last known position. More than 20 nations have been asked to help search for flight MH370, and evaluate radar and satellite data.

    first and foremost, why have a transponder switch which can be turned off at will, it should always be on and no option of switching it off or someone convince me the need of having a transponder switch..!!!

    Does anybody remember the story from last year where the guy used a flight simulator and an Android app to show it was possible to remotely take control of the aircraft? Not to go all tin foil hat but find it interesting the coincidence between this and the nature of the work of the 20 Freescale Semiconductor employees on board.

    It's not that easy, because if it was, I'd go out learn to be a pilot in a week and earn £30,000k+ a year. He has no idea what he's inputting, he doesn't even know where it will take him (remember 'terrorists' can fly 747's into building's, twin towers + number 7 with precise accuracy). It's so simple to be a pilot these days, that's why it takes years to become one! Next I'm going to learn how to ride a submarine with the BBC's 'The idiots guide to hijacking a submarine.'

    To change a Flight Path intentionally or unintentionally is not the issue now. The issue is WHERE is the Plane? To kill a human life, to kill a nation to go to war we utilize to the max all high tech equipments n gadgets. Yet we are unable to find a commercial plane, conveniently all countries now have limitation(s).

    What kind of circumstance would require the pilot or co-pilot to turn off a transponder whilst in flight?

    They did this in an Airbus through, which is different in some ways.

    As the search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight #MH370 continues, the BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes goes inside a cockpit simulator to find out how easy it is to change a flight path.

    All those people pissed that BBC is showing it: IT WAS ALREADY ON LINE! A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH COULD HAVE PROVIDED IT.

    Thanks for showing the world how to hijack a plane a turn off a transponder just what we need, copy cats! Why can you turn off a transponder it should always be on surely! Not something we should have learned from 911 then?

    Why on the earth is the flying information online? Shouldn't it be meant for only pilots?

Who is winning the US-Canada trade war? | BBC Americast

Published

on



The trade war between the US and Canada has escalated after Canadian prime minister Mark Carney walked away from negotiations to cut a new trade deal with the US and declared up to 50% retaliatory tariffs on hundreds of American goods. Sumi and Anthony discuss how America’s once closest ally is fighting back, and if it could become a political problem for Trump as the midterms approach.

And we mark the passing of musical legend Dolly Parton who has died at the age of 80. With a reputation defined by her quick quips and deep kindness, she had fans from across the political divide, leading an Americaster to ask what would have happened if she’d ever run for president?
