But Indonesian transport ministry official Djoko Murjatmodjo said the request could not be approved at that time due to traffic, there was a flight above, and five minutes later [flight QZ8501] disappeared from radar. Geoffrey Thomas, of airlineratings, told the BBC that radar plots had shown the plane was flying at 353 knots, 100 knots slower than it should have been. Although he stressed it was only speculation, he said it was possible the pilots may have lost data on air speed because of an ice-up of pitot tube instrumentation. This was thought to have had happened in the loss of the Air France Airbus A330 over the Atlantic Ocean in 2009.
