Assuming a "normal" fuel load for this flight was boarded when it departed at 00:41, and assuming the pinging at 8:11 is accurate, the aircraft was most likely flown until it ran out of fuel.

That tells me that whoever was once in control of the aircraft was disabled or dead at 8:11. The aircraft then crashed and could not have landed at an airstrip of any kind.

Thoughts?
