“Jeff, I just listened to this episode, and I wanted to share a perspective that might bring clarity where there seems to be ongoing speculation. I have been researching MH370 intensively for the past 10 years, and I believe there’s a decisive path we can follow regarding the role of the first officer.
Throughout the episode, I noticed a lot of back-and-forth on who might have influenced the flight path and why. Speculating between the captain and the first officer based on unclear or mixed signals doesn’t give listeners a solid answer, especially when a deeper analysis could reveal stronger, more consistent indicators.
What if we focused on the available flight data and ring patterns at specific intervals to evaluate what is consistent with the plane’s movements, instead of rehashing who could have been at fault? I’ve identified a flight path that aligns precisely with the satellite pings and ring locations every hour, which is more than coincidence. This path supports my theory that the first officer’s role is central, and I’m ready to discuss this in full detail. I challenge any existing theory with my findings, as they provide the most consistent match with known data points.
If you’re up for it, I would love to be part of an episode to walk you and your listeners through the full timeline, from takeoff to disappearance, using factual path evidence. Let’s dig deep into this with facts that don’t flip-flop but instead lead us toward real answers.
Looking forward to the chance to discuss this. Thanks for the thought-provoking episode!”
Thanks, Edmund. One thing I would point out is that there are an infinite number of routes that match the ping rings, so your proposed route isn't rare in that regard. Let me ask you this: what is your explanation for the reboot of the SDU?
“Jeff, I’d have to respectfully disagree with the assumption that there are countless possible routes matching the ping rings. What I’ve identified isn’t just a route that aligns with the pings—it’s the only route that follows an existing airway with a clear link between pre- and post-turn paths. This specific connection was recognized as a problem in 2014 to the extent that a committee was formed to address it, though only within a 250-mile radius.
Here’s what sets this theory apart:
1. Flight Path Exists in the FMC: This isn’t a speculative path but an actual programmed route that fits within the constraints of MH370’s Flight Management Computer (FMC).
2. Unique Connection: This airway route links both the path before and after the critical turn. This is the same issue identified in 2014 that wasn’t entirely resolved at the time.
3. Autopilot Evidence: I have specific indicators that support the autopilot’s engagement throughout, countering any manual interference theory.
4. SDU Reboot Explanation: I can explain the communication loss as something other than sabotage, tied instead to system behavior and human error.
5. Detailed Analysis of Ping Data: I’ve thoroughly studied the ping timing and distribution to illustrate why these signals were misinterpreted initially.
I understand this might sound complex without seeing my full work. But as you mentioned in The Pilot episode, standing firmly behind our conclusions is critical. With 35 years in the transportation industry and 10 years specifically studying MH370, I’m prepared to do just that.
The responsibility isn’t just on the crew; it extends to ATC and systemic factors that allowed these errors to go unnoticed. I’d be more than willing to present my full findings to back this up and welcome any challenge to my theory.”
I look forward to any questions and hope we can continue this further.
