ANALYSIS
Richard Westcott, BBC correspondent BBC Transport
We know that the plane just eight minutes decreased with altitude of 38 thousand. feet (12 thousand. meters) and crashed into a mountain. One of my friend the pilot maintains that it is more than twice as fast as the normal speed reduction for passenger ships, but they are able to withstand without any problems and much more rapid decline.
In an emergency, the first priority of the pilots – a control of the airplane; but as soon as the pilot regained control over management, he is trained to immediately submit dispatchers alarm. However, in this case it did not happen.
This suggests that the pilots faced with such a catastrophic situation that simply do not have time, or were unable to send a distress signal or try to plan for the nearest airport is only 50 km away from them.
It is too early to say anything, but this problem could be the simultaneous failure of both engines, fuel problems or some critical breakdown in the systems of the ship.
It turned out that the plane showed no distress signals until the collision with the ground, and raised the alarm dispatchers after the plane disappeared mark off the radar screen.
