Leandro:
If as the BEA report suggest .. the plane don't broke in air before touch the water .. why no more ACARS messages durring the fall
No more defaults to be detected and send ... ?
Non-frequent SLF here (CPT to Europe maybe once/year), fascinated by the physics of flight; and I have learnt a mass of things about said physics and flight control systems by following this thread.
Some tentative questions: Is there a consensus that the ACARS messages were transmitted
prior to the aircraft exiting normal flight? Is it possible that the ACARS transmissions occurred after that exit? In other words, things were already starting to go wrong in terms of normal flight and the ACARS were more or less transmitted at the same time, or that there was an overlap between transmission and sub-normal flight. Extending this further: the end of ACARS transmissions doesn't necessarily point to break-up at cruise level?
Thanks.
