Where it stands

Still possibleIts tests haven't settled it: three pieces of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

What it predicts

  • The turn-back and subsequent route were hand-flown or deliberately programmed.
  • Communications were disabled by action, not failure.
  • The recorders, if found, show the cockpit in control throughout.

What would rule it out

  • Recorder evidence of a technical emergency or of an intrusion into the cockpit.
