Yeah. One of the five airports found on the simulator seized by the police is that same military base, Diego Garcia.

It's probably at ETOPS divert field for Maylasia-Africa operations.

OK, back to your originally scheduled program.

In theory, yes. But a pilot could simply over-ride any bad FMS programming. Worst case, he could turn the AP off and hand fly it if the FMS won't do what he wants. Or let the AP fly it with manual HDG inputs.

You can't take control of an airliner from the ground (until they build drone airliners).

You may want to review that source, most are bad, but that one is terrible.

No I don't think it is a good idea to post things like that online. I wouldn't post instructions on how to make a bomb either, or how to get in through the reinforced cockpit door.

He? You are presuming I am male. Not all pilots are male. I might be, I might not be. I guess you presume all Flight attendants are female? Most might be but just presuming just shows you are sexist.

Very interesting theory, worthy enough to post and hear your thoughts...

Relevant to discussion, how? :confused:

Only a woman would start an argument about pronoun usage...
