Thanks for your reply.
Just to tidy up, the transponder failed during the turn at IGARI. ADSB showed the aircraft was correctly turning right to intercept the IGARI BITOD cleared route. The air turn back occurred 90seconds after the transponder ceased transmitting.
So how do you make a radio call with an inoperative AMU?
And how do you program a LNAV route to Penang without a valid FMC at that time?
And how did you overcome startle effect and assess that it wasn’t a bomb that went off, with an immediate urgency to find a suitable airport?
And you say that the most suitable airport is Penang, ie where MH370 flew to. So how do you propose to fly to Penang, manually towards the start of the ILS?
And what altitude and speed?
And how do you avoid flying along the Malay/Thai border?
And how do you know when to descend without VNAV?
And which checklist did you run first?
And how long do you need until you’re ready?
And what about the blank four screens in front of you, how did that effect you?
And what about the Left Autothrottle issue.
And what about the flight control, hydraulic, landing gear and electrical issue?
And the navigation, communication problems.
And how did you inform the passengers?
And how are you dealing with the overwhelming problems?
And have you lost any situational awareness?
And why do you feel euphoric?
