Pilot of MH370 was suspected of carefully planning the crash

The pilot of MH370 was suspected of carefully planning the crash: Zachariah Ahmad Shah, the pilot of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which went missing in 2014, may have plotted the plane’s death, having designed a trajectory that would stop experts from discovering where the plane was headed. Richard Godfrey, an aerospace engineer, came to this conclusion.

“The pilot in command of the MH370 tended to avoid official flight routes from 18:00 UTC onwards but used waypoints to navigate unofficial flight routes. If an aircraft was found, the pilot also avoided giving a clear idea of where he was going.” – noted the specialist in his research.

This applies to the Andaman Islands, South Africa, Java, and the way to Cocos Islands.

“After leaving the range of all other aircraft, at 20:30 UTC, the pilot changed course and headed strictly south, ” Gazeta.ru quotes the engineer.

He believes the flight path was carefully prepared. Godfrey is convinced that the pilot was more concerned with leaving false trails than with fuel consumption. Numerous variations in the trajectory and speed of flight suggest that Zechariah Ahmad Shah was conscious.

According to the study’s author, the pilot was aware of nearby radars’ schedules and was aware that the systems would not operate at night or on weekends.

Tim Termini, an aviation security specialist, previously speculated that a hijacker was on board the missing Malaysia Airlines plane. According to him, the attacker could board the plane ahead of schedule and wait for takeoff. The expert also acknowledged that one of the crew members or passengers may have caught the liner.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has launched an inquiry following reports that metal fragments were discovered at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport after an Air India Express flight made an emergency landing on Monday evening.

The emergency landing was prompted by a detected engine fault, but fortunately, the landing was executed safely without any injuries to the passengers.

The situation began when crew members of the Air India Express flight reported an engine issue, leading to the emergency landing. The DGCA has confirmed that a thorough investigation is underway and has directed that the aircraft undergo a comprehensive safety inspection.

The discovery of metal debris outside the airport has raised concerns, prompting the DGCA to probe whether these fragments are linked to the aircraft involved in the emergency landing. Authorities are particularly focused on whether the metal pieces, which were found near the airport, originated from the same Air India Express flight that experienced engine trouble.

While preliminary assessments suggest that the debris could be a broken blade from an aircraft engine, the exact source remains unconfirmed. The airline has yet to verify if the metal fragments are from their aircraft.
