Hopefully the data recorders are preserved in the tail.

Can anyone advise the origin of the altitude recorded on the FDR. Pressure only? Or GPS also?

I wonder if recent attention from ICAO is an explanation for the tough posturing of Indonesian authorities.

The apparent situation between the authorities and AA is unseemly to say the least.

It's a fair bet the authorities are currently in possession of more facts than the public.

Thanks ekw. I doubt there is any significant connection for Allianz to find between this, MH370 and MH17. They appear to be 3 very different incidents.

In some ways I find this the most...

Tracking

Tracking would not have saved any lives here. And so you can argue that tracking is irrelevant.

On the other hand, it seems suboptimal to say 'We lost the aircraft at 24000 (or whatever it was) as...
