Bogs in the cockpit. Can't be that hard. Door only lockable from inside the trap. Not being funny but some trolley dolley sitting in with the co-pilot while the captain goes for a shit isn't stopping him if he is determined to fly the fucker into a mountain. She could get her tits out and try and calm him down I suppose.

Okay, so I was talking to a pilot last night and he said that it's actually really easy to turn off ACARS and the transponder without leaving the cockpit. He said that neither are infallible either and that ACARS does sometimes turn itself off. He doesn't claim to know the answers, but whenever I have read about ACARS it's been claimed that it is very difficult to manually turn it off.

 

I thought that while it was easy to turn off, it was not possible to deactivate it fully from inside the plane. Which is why it kept sending the ping.

Everything I read about it said that you had to be outside the cockpit and through a trapdoor to change anything. I think they said that only an engineer could entirely disable it. This pilot man told me different though.

Key line for me:

 

"He does not believe that it was flown until it ran out fuel, because it would have crashed in a "near vertical dive", smashing into pieces that would have washed up the shores of Tasmania, New Zealand's South Island, or Chile in South America."
