Nobody knows what has condemned Malaysia Airlines flight 370, and the world aeronautical authorities have given up trying to find out.
But that did not stop the Malaysian government from trying to deduce – as before – that was an unfair game by the drivers. The head of the Malaysian investigators on the disaster, Kok Soo Chon, presenting the government's final report on the disaster in Kuala Lumpur on Monday, made a point of reference on when the Boeing 777 suddenly left its flight path, which implies that he was deliberately stolen from oblivion in the far Indian Ocean.
Describing this moment, Kok said, "The autopilot must be disengaged."
But that's exactly what the pilots should have done when they were facing a sudden urgency and had to to get as fast as possible on a track – they decoupled the autopilot and took control manually.
The jet made a sharp left turn, reversing the direction all the way north to Beijing.
In making this turn, the jet's navigation heading became identical to that called Terminal Primary Approach, heading it to the Sultan Ismail Petra Airport of Kota Bharu, on the east coast of Malaysia.
But the next step that would have been automatically dictated as an emergency response, to start a descent, never happened.
From that moment, the only changes made to the flight path the spray jet directional: a right turn to follow an international flight lane over the Strait of Malacca and a last left turn to the south of the Indian Ocean. No significant changes were made to its speed or altitude until, five hours and 40 minutes later, it begins to run out of fuel and somewhere in the south of the city. Indian Ocean. There he began a death dive in the deep waters.
This model of flight without any contact with air traffic controllers remains the stubborn core of the mystery. There is no precedent in the history of air disasters. And there is nothing, absolutely nothing in the Malaysian report to corroborate the idea that the pilots were responsible for such an inexplicable action.
Indeed, if the pilots had really wanted to make the jet disappear, they would have turned right and not left: they went directly to the airspace covered by superimposed radars based in Malaysia, Vietnam, in Thailand and Indonesia. 19659002] If they had turned right, they would have quickly escaped radar coverage on the South China Sea – where, in one of the many missteps committed by the Malaysians in the hours that followed the the disappearance of the jet, the first searches were made.

The other troubling and disturbing thing about the sudden change of course of the jet is that from that moment on, he became silly. No word has ever been heard and nobody knew where it was.
This was also frequently invoked to dirty the pilots. The 777's two ways of keeping in touch with the ground, a steady signal recording its position and data dumps every half-hour recording the behavior of its critical systems, both stopped working
). 39, it was the deliberate action of the pilots who had "shut down" the systems. The new report persists with this idea, saying, somewhat confused, that "if the mechanical fault could not be excluded", the communication systems had been "deliberately deactivated".
But an expert I consulted on the communication systems of the Boeing 777 It was categorical that these two systems could have been destroyed by a greater failure of part of the power systems from the plane. " Indeed, if the pilots had really wanted to make the jet disappear, they would have turned right, not left "
As with so many elements of this mystery it remains impossible to explain how this jet, with 239 souls on board, could embody the behavior of a normal flight while being far from normal – as it flew at night and in the day on March 8, 2014 , it showed a kind of impersonal efficiency, with the two Rolls Royce engines running normally until all the gas was burned.
And the Malaysian report confirms that the pilots did not attempt to make a controlled "drop" of the aircraft at the end of the flight. Traces of debris from the wings, stranded on the beaches of the western Indian Ocean, proved that the controls had not been moved to prepare for a ditching
The scapegoat of Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah and Co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid by the Malaysians lost his credibility a long time ago. A previous Malaysian report conceded that none of them had shown signs of personal or financial problems or motive of mass murder-suicide and Kok, in the press conference, repeated that , while saying: "We can not establish if the aircraft was piloted by someone other than the pilot. "
A parallel investigation into the crew and the circumstances of the robbery by the Malaysian Royal Police long remained opaque but Kok demolished another conspiracy theory, which Shah had repeated misappropriating his own theft. the results of the police examination of a flight simulator program on Captain Shah's personal computer were "too confusing and limited to provide real details."
Kok himself even seemed confused to know whether there was a final report, entitled, or not. "This is not the final report," he said. would be too presumptuous of us to say that it is the final report, if the wreck was not found, if no casualties were found … How can we call the report our final report? "
What he meant was the fact that it was the transfer of responsibilities by the Malaysians to to find the answers, the others had a continuous responsibility: "… Regarding our team, we did our job … we do not deal with research. Research is not our domain. You must ask the people responsible for the research … "
With that he was, indeed, dumping on the Australians.Two four-year high seas researches were conducted by the Australian Transportation Safety Bureau. The last phase of the research this year has deployed the world's most advanced sonar technology but has been left blank.
Malaysia's "final" report fulfills a bureaucratic, but certainly not moral, obligation. the relevant airline, his government conducted the investigation and, in accordance with the rules of the International Business Aviation Organization, a United Nations agency based in Montreal, he was unable to conclude the investigation without issuing report.
The report concedes few errors from Malaysians: it admits that air traffic controllers did not immediately notice that the theft had gone, recommends new security measures for cargo sweeping (while refuting the theory the ionic batteries in the cargo hold contributed to the disaster) and suggests more frequent monitoring of the state of health of flight crews.
This tragedy has been compounded by the abysmal performance of the Malaysian government, riddled with extraordinary levels. corruption and lax ministerial surveillance, itself the product of cronyism. The tone of Kok's report and press conference is undoubtedly and shamefully that of the people who rush to the door.
"In conclusion, the team is unable to determine the real cause of the disappearance of MH370."
Nobody else, not ICAO, not the Australians, not Boeing, seems to want to fix it.
