: autopilot. I get that a plane can follow the waypoints it did with autopilot. Where I'm confused is why the autopilot would take it out into the middle of the ocean until it ran out of fuel. I
That is the core lie. It did not run out of fuel or crash in the ocean. The endpoint they are claiming is when they got the last ping. The reason that was the last ping is that they were way way out there not that the flight ended..........................crashed........
Going to use silly numbers but the 777 holds 100 gallons of fuel
The flight to china requires 23 gallons
They put 2 gallons on top for diversion if needed
Our pilots filled this plane up with 100 gallons....if he was planning on coming back do you know how much trouble he would be in ----having the plane haul 75 gallons of fuel for no reason cost 100's and 100;s of thousands
No airline does that they calculate route add some diversion the diversion is never 3x the actual flight!
The implications are enormous ---translates to both knew
The entire essence of flight is your gross weight
It influences when you lift off runway, flaps, and angle of attack cruise everything
It is all punched in on board computers
They can’t cheat on that in the plane they would crash on the runway on takeoff because the machine would not be configured for the correct weight!
Mr. Hansford pointed to the amount of fuel likely on board the Boeing 777-200, at nearly full capacity with 31,000 gallons instead of the 45 per cent loading required to pilot a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, as being a strong indicator that MH370's disappearance was not accidental.

I went to pilot forum, where not allowed to post from and I sent it to Daryl this am these pilots gave it in metric tons whereas the guy above did it gallons I do not know how to do that stuff
I want to see; when Daryl works me does it come out to the same sad conclusion that when they took off they knew the might need 3 xs what is needed to make it to china
PS: When she is topped off her range is 8900 Miles! To china was like 2900!
Now the questions are where it (hanger) who many others participated is and do they want something or want an encore performance of a 9-11 event.
I also ponder if the belly was not filled to the brim with all sorts of new technology accompanying our 20 engineers - black market steals the technology etc.
I think hopefully the next new news (lie one of the first things one would ask how much fuel they put on before takeoff
Answers a lot of questions Boeing believes the plane is in Pakistan.
It’s not in the water – its 3000 miles further than they think it is the radius for the search arc is from believing that plane was fueled to china with some diversion added on
