I wouldn't mind setting a different thread, though for now we have always been posting 'incident' in 'General Discussion' threads, so should we create a new thread for this incident?.... Fabien

I think its better set another threat as this incidence could bring changes to whole industry as debate now on whether flight data should be sent back to hq real time via satelite... This plane definitely a mystery as it just vanished with no trace... Even after 50hours...

Maybe a single thread for ALL significant incidents under Other Aircraft? We're a small community and I don't think we need a individual threads for every one of them.

Unfortunately, the way the story now unfolds seems to encourage conspiracy theorists ...

Surely transponders and other vital tracking equipment should not be able to simply be switched off.

Tell that to the aviation "experts" and they tell you a thousand reasons why it is irrevocable and absolute necessary to be able to switch them off. Of course it should not be possible to tamper with the identification of a commercial used airframe.

Any electrical equipment aboard an aircraft may overheat and become a fire hazard. All aircraft designs therefore allow their switch off. Attempts to prevent some specific form of "human" danger may easily backfire. For instance, post 9/11 hardened cockpit doors make it more difficult for passengers to interfere with the pilots, but they also help a pilot to lock out his crew mate and crash the plane to commit suicide ... Which is the greater danger ?

Which is the greater danger ? You can design electrical equipment so that it never produces a spark, burns or overheats. How to you think ex, explosion proof, equipment gets its certification? How do you switch of the ELT? An identification unit could be on the outside of the plane, making it tamper proof in flight and of course forget about the off switch.
