turnin: Note the conspiracy potential in this one :)

joker97: if that article is true it cannot get much more Hollywood than this. I was sceptical why dick ripped out his pacemaker some time back ... but I could you take control of a plane by hacking it?! and Russia doing all its stuff to distract the world? (lol my own conspiracy theory now)
Or the "hijacking due to a remote control takeover of the aircraft based on its software vulnerabilities" one I just saw..

Also there is no 10 minute rule for for ATC contact. What I think was being referred to here was there is a 10 minute period from the time they lose VHF contact with Malaysian ATC till they get reliable VHF contact with Vietnamese ATC. Same reason there is no Flight Radar 24 coverage in this area.

I've not heard of the 10 minute rule either, but the way it was portrayed on CNN was that there has to be a minimum 10 minute distance between ATC if there is a coverage gap. As if it was mandatory.

Now you're making it sound like a time gap between aircraft.

It didn't sound like seperation they were talking about, perhaps it was. It sounded like if there is a gap between ATC areas, where there is no coverage, it cannot be over 10 minutes, I assumed flying time. Matt saw an article on Sky TV UK that said a similar thing, so I guess its how they delivered what they meant. They were newsreaders rather than aviation staff.

That is not entirely accurate, as you sound like you are referring to a 10 minute 'dead zone', where the plane isn't able to contact anyone due to being out of range of both. and I don't think that was ever mentioned. The way I understand it, the pilot could have immediately contacted the Vietnamese ATC , after they had signed off from the Malaysian ATC. The thing is that they didn't. Why didn't they? There is a 10 minute 'maximum' amount of time allowed after the pilot signed off from the Malaysian ATC, until they must contact the Vietnamese ATC, otherwise an alarm will be raised. The UK Sky program was discussing this with real pilots of this same plane model, so they would know all the rules.
