(Before It's News)
Malaysia officials in Beijing played a highly suspicious MH370 audio recording Tuesday for Chinese family members of missing persons. It was the first time the recording was played in public.
Loved ones heard the audio recording in a conference room and were told they were listening to the last known words of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
Then, the Boeing and the 239 passengers reportedly on it were disappeared on March 8.
An airline expert of 40 years has stated that the recording is not only a major clue to the mystery air craft’s whereabouts, mainstream media has done more than just dismiss this claim, while another aviation expert says a demand needs to be made for the original, undoctored audio needs to be made public.
Not Good Night
Malaysian officials released the audio recording over 50 days after the plane disappeared, In a long-awaited briefing before scores of relatives of the flight’s Chinese passengers, the officials also admitted that the last words were not those by the co-pilot, as they’d previously said.
“Malaysia three-seven-zero contact Ho Chi Minh 120.9, good night,” says a voice identified by Malaysian officials as that of a radar controller in Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian capital.
“Good night Malaysian three-seven-zero,” answers a male voice, now reportedly believed to be a crewmember on the plane, not the co-pilot as officials had previously reported.
“This is NOT THE NORMAL RADIO CONTACT,” commented a Before It’s News user, Daveyo. “Under FAA rules all pilots are to repeat instructions to what was given by ATC or en route control. This means to say, the pilot should have responded as follows: “Malaysian three seven zero contacting Ho Chin Minh 120.9. Good night,” and then ATC should have responded, ”Malay 370, Read-back is correct. Good night.”
Daveyo says he’s worked for the airlines for 40 years and knows the FAA protocols.
“Pilots saying [the transcript] is not unusual, should be grounded,” he says.
“On all the planes I have been on and even inspected and repaired and talked to pilots numerous times in the cockpit everyone repeats all instructions as given, IT IS MANDATORY,” he wrote.
“Besides that, I also have the FAA radio license good for life, and worked and went home always listening to ATC and Pilot chatter for 40 years,” Daveyo states. “Pilots saying its not unusual, should be grounded. On all the planes I have been on and even inspected and repaired and talked to pilots numerous times in the cockpit everyone repeats all instructions as given. IT IS MANDATORY.”
In fact, he says he remembers several occasions when pilots did not do the repeat.
“[T]he ATC got pissed off, and requested the pilot to do the repeat,” he said.
“Ask yourself this question OK? Your a radar controller and you instruct AA 3470 – turn left 140 degrees and maintain FL 340. Now your pilot then says AA340 going 140 thank you. Are you certain that the pilot is following your instructions or not?” Daveyo asks. “The repeat was not precise and completed. Do you ignore or request the repeat? The pilot said AA 340 not AA 3470, and did not respond to flight level 340. Now do you understand the importance of the repeat process?
When the transcript was first released, officials stated there was nothing new in it and it did not change their search and rescue mission. In other words, they reportedly dismissed it as they have done many times during the crisis involving 239 missing persons, who we are told boarded MH370 in Kuala Lumpur.
Daveyo strongly opposes the ongoing dismissal of those final words.
“The transcript does raise a lot of concern, because its very suspicious indeed. Apparently ATC was asleep at radar control and not alert enough to the reply, and secondly did not even sound the alarm when the transponder was turned off and the ACARS was turned off.”
When he saw the transcript, he said he knew someone else was piloting that plane.
“Understand, someone who was not familiar with ATC, and took over that plane folks, because whoever was responding back to ATC violated the cardinal rule of FAA to read-back all instructions as given for the proper handshake and not make any mistakes to avoid any confusion regarding instructions.”
Furthermore, he asks where was Ho Chin Minh ATC and why did they never sound the alarm either?
“Because MH 370 was being handed over to them,” he asserts. “Interesting to say the least nobody mentioned anything until they verified the plane never made it to Beijing.”
Indeed, Malaysia Airlines did not publicly report that the plane was “missing” until it was to land in Beijing, dubious at best.
Wednesday, CNN reported, ”At 2:03 a.m. local time on March 8, the operational dispatch center of Malaysia Airlines sent a message to the cockpit instructing the pilot to contact ground control in Vietnam, said Sayid Ruzaimi Syed Aris, an official with Malaysia’s aviation authority. Sayid said flight MH370 did not respond to the message.”
The crisis was not reported to the public, however, until about the time the plane was to land in Beijing, giving it six hours to fly without the public being on the lookout for any unusual jumbo activity, as security officials under heightened alert would advise, especially since the 9/11 false flag,
Flights to Bejing must also pass over Hong Kong ATC en route control center.
“The plane never made to that point,” he says. “Yet no alarm was sounded of a missing flight not reporting on schedule.”
These are the types of issues that have added to the pain and suffering of the 239 missing persons’ families and loved ones.
“The victims’ families are being lied to and being duped royally (because they do not know what I know concerning repeats and protocols and flight enroute tracking) as the airlines and ATC are desperately trying to cover their tracks for the biggest blunder of all aviation industry,” Daveyo said.
Mainstream media have generally towed the official line throughout the entire crisis, asking few questions and adding little to no investigation.
“I have tried to mention this to CNN and guess what,” Daveyo says, “[T]hey blocked me and put me on the ban list because the information I tried to get out, they do not want the public to know about because what I said is TRUE.”
Demand Original Transcript
Another BIN reader, Wiseman, who also purports to be an aviaiton expert, said he, too analyzed the MH370 transcript and makes other points worthy of consideration, discussion and action.
“It is likely that communications between Malaysian ATC and the MAS370 (MH370) pilot team have been redacted (removal of sensitive information) from the last three lines of the transcript,” Wiseman says. “At 01:08:00 ATC broadcast Malaysian Three Seven Zero, end quote. There should have been a reply from MH370 to question being called with no instruction given, but none are shown. This is where the transcript may have a major omission because eleven minutes and 24 seconds went by before ATC stated Malaysian Three Seven Zero contact Ho Chi Minh 120 decimal 9 Good Night, end quote.”
Wieman strongly agrees that the transcript holds critically important cluse that have thus far, been dismissed as having no bearing on the crisis search and rescue mission.
“This single event should make people very skeptical that the transcript is an accurate depiction of what was said between ATC and MH370,” Wiseman says.
He says that in his early life, he was a USAF KC-135A navigator and attained over 2,000 hours of heavy jet time.
“One of my jobs was to keep a record of communications with ATC and to make certain the pilot team obeyed those instructions,” he said. “For ATC to call MH370 and not provide instructions and for MH370 not to question ATC for missing instructions does not make any sense here.
“For ATC to call an aircraft like this and for that aircraft to fail to respond for eleven minutes and 24 seconds is highly anomalous. Any flight crew would have called ATC and asked them why they were calling them without providing instructions.
Furthermore, Wiseman asserts that the original source of the transcript needs to be released, not a doctored version provided over two months later, as officials have done.
“Original source material to include radar and voice communications must be released to run forensics to determine if communications have been redacted from the transcript,” Wiseman wrote.
“Finally, the last communication from ATC, which directed MH370 to contact Vietnamese ATC on 120.9 shows no abnormality and 5 seconds later at 01:19:29 MAS370 transmitted Good Night Malaysian Three Seven Zero. What is abnormal here is very difficult to determine, but go back up the transcript and the pilot team has consistently read back instructions. They did not do that here. I suspect this communication has been redacted as well.”
Add that Malaysian authorities previously changed this line of communications suggests this communication is probably not accurate because it means Malaysian authorities were not being honest in the first place, he asserts.
“If the transcript has been redacted to make it appear that the turn to the west was a criminal act, then Malaysian airlines would likely not be held liable for mechanical issues. As a result, it is critical that the Malaysian government release all evidence related to radar and voice communications so that proper forensics can be done.”
The BIN reader Daveyo adds, “You know if that plane is found at the Bay of Bengal, many heads are going to roll and many will wonder what they have done wrong.”
