Who flew the initial turn towards Penang? As stated previously, the 25 degree angle of bank left turn was conducted manually by someone in the cockpit, or via the autopilot in heading mode.
How do we know? The primary radar recordings.
The turn back was not commenced immediately, it was a few minutes later after the “event”. This is still consistent with an accident scenario.
Q. What altitude and speed would you fly at towards Penang, following an oxygen bottle rupture with a damaged P105?
