Yes, I am aware. But if we take things to extreme, it's possible there was a urgent situation (fire in the cockpit) that the pilot did not have time to communicate before losing the ability.

- awb 5y agoBut the plane maneuvered several times after that with power going off and back on.
- smashah 5y agoOk I will put myself in your hypothetical. If there was a fire in the cockpit of my cessna, I would try my best to suppress the fire and instruct the other pilot to make a mayday call. Communication becomes a bit higher priority when the situation is that dire where no amount of "aviating" would make much difference. This is one of those things where we never find out the truth unfortunately.
- saberdancer 5y agoI am just playing the devils advocate. If there was some sudden emergency, fire in the cockpit while copilot was outside, it is possible that the pilot wouldn't have time to communicate before losing the ability. But if we take everything into consideration, three additional turns, direction where the plane went, exact moment when the plane lost it's transponder, ... - the most likely explanation is pilot suicide.
- SiempreViernes 5y agoSure, but why would the plane fly fine if the cockpit is dramatically on fire? I doubt the automated systems fly plane good if the circuit breakers are all in the "on fire" state.
