In his Tumblr post, Aude cited a 2013 Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) Airworthiness Directive for the 777 which spotted a weakness in the plane. According to the directive which he quotes, there had been a report of cracking in the fuselage skin underneath the satellite communication (satcom) antenna adapter. From this, he theorised that MH370 could have experienced the same issue, leading to the failure of satellite-based communications as well as to a slow decompression of the plane which left passengers unconscious and pilots disoriented. The autopilot function would have ensured that the plane maintained course and altitude before crashing into the East China Sea, the Sea of Japan or the Pacific Ocean, miles from the intensive search zone in the South China Sea where rescue efforts have been concentrated in the past few days. Aude wrote the piece, he said, after discovering the FAA’s Airworthiness Directive on PPRUNE forums. In the same forum, I discovered how some of the 777’s radar systems depend on satcom and GPS. I considered these facts alongside the mobile phones ringing and the mumbling pilots, and I had come up with the proposed explanation. P.S. I dont have to be tech savvy to understand the above; its as simple as that. Suspected fault in the fuselage skin underneath the satellite communication equipments (total communication failure), plane in auto pilot/cruise mode, the crews were put to sleep, the plane nosedived into the ocean after hours of unmanned flight path.
