If the pilot can disconnect Inmarsat, he can disconnect Starlink. He might even be able to disconnect Twitter and in-flight entertainment.

- cccbbbaaa 3y agoWe know where MH370 disappeared thanks to ADS-B, and after it was disconnected, it was still seen by primary radars.
- belltaco 3y agoOkay and where are the pilot comms till it was disconnected?
- cccbbbaaa 3y agoNo need to be confrontational, I'm not opposed to FDR/CVR streaming. I just dislike solutions to problems that have already been solved, and we were just pointing out that starlink does not bring anything to the table vs. ADS-B, radars, and inmarsat.
