MH370 pilot 'made many turns to avoid detection' before jet vanished
The pilot of flight MH370 that disappeared seven years ago made numerous turns to avoid detection before the passenger jet took its final, fatal course, a new study found. MH370 vanished in March, 2014, with Malaysian Airlines Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah dying alongside 238 passengers and crew, including six Australians. The research by aerospace engineer Richard Godfrey, of the Independent Group of Scientists, set up to solve the MH370 mystery - found that the flight path of the Boeing 777 jet… (www.9news.com.au) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Some person had to physically change the speed (and direction) as it was beyond the program abilities of the auto pilot. The person at the controls of an aircraft is usually referred to as the pilot.
This is absolutely incorrect. If the FMC was programmed that way, it would have no problem changing speed and direction all on its own. You can program it to fly certain speeds at certain waypoints, and create your own waypoints using coordinates no problem. Source: I fly the 777.
But to say the changes were made in a sinister way to "avoid" radar assumes facts not in evidence. The pilot may have been dealing with a still unknown emergency, and doing his best to save the plane. I am keeping an open mind until the airplane is found an investigation establishes the cause of the crash. One thing that I wonder is why it was carrying enough fuel to make it to 35 degrees South and West of Australia when the flight was from KUL to PEK?
WSPR signals reflecting from the aircraft, like low frequency "radar" would cause signals to be received in places where you would not expect them.
WSPR is transmitted at very low power levels. Without the aircraft acting as a reflector the signals should not have been detected.
By "connecting the dots" an appropriate path might be determined.

It's all just wild-ass guessing based on uselessly small bits of information.
How can a research based on radio waves detect anything more than the change of speed and direction? The whole part after “to avoid” is suggestive and harmful to any real research, not to mention aviation as a whole and the family of the pilot.
