BB on MH370 in the sim??

Sim test refutes MH370 ‘dive’ theories



Two months ago in a Boeing 777 simulator I compared the IPG (Independent Pilots’ Group) pilot-controlled descent and ditching of MH370’s final moments with the Australian Transport Safety Bureau’s death-dive-upon-fuel-exhaustion theory.

Both began at the DSTG (Defence Scientific Technology Group) hotspot on the 7th arc from 39,000 feet and Mach 0.84. The IPG descent at 230 knots indicated airspeed (IAS) stabilised at 1700 feet a minute.

I progressively lowered the flaps; the auxiliary power unit (APU) autostarts at 22,000 feet on remaining fuel and bled the speed back to ditch about 120 knots. In the 3m-4m swell this would have wrecked the aircraft, probably tearing off the engines and flaps and breaking the fuselage at the weakest point — forward wing junction. This took about 20 minutes and covered about 130km. Next, as per the ATSB report, which states when the second engine flamed out the aircraft turned left, I allowed the B777 to enter a left-spiral death dive and two minutes later we impacted the sea at 620 knots (nearly 1100km/h). At this speed the water acts like concrete and the aircraft would have exploded into smithereens. Tens of thousands of small bits of flotsam would have floated for months.

This did not happen.

The evidence and opinions of aviation experts point to the fact that the ATSB wrongly based their MH370 search on this nonsense and persisted with the farce, ignoring the outcry from aviation experts. The video of the comparison of the two descents will be in a forthcoming TV documentary.

It is now close to six years since the Malaysia Airlines’ flight disappeared en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board, including six Australians.

To this day the Australian government refuses to release documents requested under FOI by The Australian. What are they trying to hide? We have a right to know.
