If the signal they found isn't from the black box, what is it from? I know that the whole problem here is searching for the equivalent of a needle in a haystack the size of Texas, but there is an awful lot of stuff in the area, including submarines, which should be pretty good at finding probably the only thing in the area wanting to be found....

Registered 10 years agoWhat was learned from the Black Box
I'm no expert, I've flown the odd flight-sim, played a fair bit of iL2, but their actions seem odd, surely if you don't know your speed and you're getting stall warnings then point the nose down and accelerate, if you end up going too fast then the airframe will vibrate and you can decelerate. -

Registered 4 years agoFucking ice in the pitot tube(speed sensor), again?
This has happened so many times before, the plane thinks it's flying much slower than it really is.
The thing is, all control surfaces move proportionally to the airspeed, so at high speeds they only move a little, when you fly slowly they make big movements.
So what happens is that all controls become super sensitive and it's very easy to overpull a plane and make it stall.
That's my 2 cents anyway, but obviously there was a huge disconnect between the cockpit and what was really happening. -

Pitot tubes on aircraft commonly have heating elements called pitot heat to prevent the tube from becoming clogged with ice. The failure of these systems can have catastrophic consequences, as in the case of Austral Líneas Aéreas Flight 2553, Birgenair Flight 301 (investigators suspected that some kind of insect could have created a nest inside the pitot tube: the prime suspect is a species called the Black and yellow mud dauber wasp), Northwest Airlines Flight 6231, AeroPeru Flight 603 (blocked static port), and of one X-31.[4] It has also been suggested that pitot tube icing was responsible for the crash of Air France Flight 447.[5] although this claim has been contested.[6]Fake_Blood wrote:
