Awful news. I'm not sure our resident Aeronautical Engineer predicted that one.
What's that supposed to mean? It doesn't affect anything that is already known about the pilot requesting a controlled decent of the aircraft to a lower altitude. If it was a medical situation, the pilot would have requested an emergency landing. Sometimes you are too clever by half.
Did you think that i was referring to you?
It doesn't matter who you are referring to, I am just pointing out that the presence of carbon monoxide is an extra layer of mystery, that doesn't necessarily explain the previous request for descent to a lower altitude.
Who knows?
He certainly did not. To be fair, did anyone actually?
Well, no, that's why i said at the time that people should pipe down a bit as they haven't got a ****ing clue what happened. In the nicest possible way though.
We know the weather was bad, the pilot requested a descent, and the plane disappeared off the radar without making a mayday call.
Yup, but not the other bit, which i quite important in the scheme of things.
It was mentioned that the accident investigators were in contact with the aircraft manufacturers about the exhaust system, and it is possible that the icing conditions at 5,000ft may have played a part, as events unfolded in a fairly short timeframe without any request for an emergency landing.
