    My point was the 737 Max 8 was still being used by many airlines and I wouldn't get on one. Obviously now they have all been grounded alternative aircraft will be used.

    The info I'm referring to is HERE if anyone wants to read.

    A couple of the posters are very knowledgeable industry guys who usually call this stuff correctly; it'll all come clear once the boxes are analysed and they may well be barking up the wrong tree.

    I'd trust the PPRUNE crowd more in this instance.....there are a fair few statements at your link that show very little specialist knowledge. Just for instance, one poster wondered why the transponder signal disappeared at 8000 feet; transponders work on standard atmosphere 1013mb for flight level trace.....ground level in that area is around 8000 feet, so I suspect the transponder stopped operating on impact.

    However, as you rightly state, until the FDR/CVR data is analysed (and released), any conjecture is just that.....

    I think Christian has it about right earlier in the thread.

    He’s a commercial pilot iirc so I’d take his word over a website known to be populated by a few tinfoil hatters amongst the industry guys.
