Flightaware's log shows
Thu 03:29:31 33.6768 28.7912 137° Southeast 534 615 37,000 FlightAware ADS-B (GZP / LTFG)

that is actual ADSB from one or more LTFG receivers

so it seems ADSB quit at that time at FL370. 9 seconds later disappeared from radar. strange huh


00:26Z 3044 ANTI ICE R WINDOW
00:26Z 561200 R SLIDING WINDOW SENSOR
00:26Z 2600 SMOKE LAVATORY SMOKE
00:27Z 2600 AVIONICS SMOKE
00:28Z 561100 R FIXED WINDOW SENSOR
00:29Z 2200 AUTO FLT FCU 2 FAULT
00:29Z 2700 F/CTL SEC 3 FAULT


so ACARS first, followed by ADSB failure followed by the radar. I wonder if there is any truth in that 'witness' report about seeing a fireball...
