Whatever onboard systems the plane may have automatically reported on after losing contact with ground control, the plane did not transmit data on the status of its engines after contact with ground control was lost, the Associated Press quotes and unnamed US official as saying.
AP quotes the official as saying a digital datalink sent information about the planes engines and other information on the functioning of the plane before contact was lost. But there were no data transmitted on the status of a missing Malaysia Airlines jets engines after contact was lost with the plane, the AP reports.

but ........the tracking of the aircraft and all the monitoring devices are two seperate things. Look at it like the Rolls Royce stuff is like a feature you order on a car. Its a "luxury". MAL airlines actually did not buy the whole package. Rolls Royce said we will monitor our engines for our selves - there is no connection to tracking the aircraft itself and Rolls Royce monitoring -- except electrical which in and of itself tells us that the tranponder loss was purposeful not a result of an electrical issue.
