or was it effect of low power on fuel exhaust?
This could be a good indicator, that 0019 was the exact time of the final power failure.
could it be engine wound down no gennies, rat came on then satcom tried to fire up
ie does rat power satcom for an expected acars report (even though they don't subscribe), but that wouldn't explain just a partial ping unless it hit the water at that point.
