    AirAsia flight QZ8501

    Another mysterious disappearing aircraft. Strange.

    Search for missing AirAsia jet #QZ8501 bound for Singapore from Indonesia suspended
    By Yahoo! Singapore | Yahoo Newsroom – 4 hours ago.

    WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR:

    - AirAsia flight QZ8501 bound for Singapore from Surabaya, Indonesia and carrying 162 people on board went missing Sunday morning.

    - Contact with the plane was lost around an hour after departure, somewhere over the Java Sea between Belitung island and Pontianak, on Indonesia's part of Kalimantan island.

    - Search and rescue operations were launched with the Indonesian army as well as Singapore and Malaysia scouring the area around Belitung, but have been suspended for the night.
    Indonesia air traffic control lost contact with AirAsia flight QZ8501 bound for Singapore from the Indonesian city of Surabaya on Sunday morning.

    Search and locate efforts were launched but Indonesia later suspended the operation as darkness fell. The national search and rescue agency said the operation will resume at first light on Monday morning, with the search area expanded to include mountainous areas on land.

    Earlier, AirAsia released a statement listing 162 people on board, with 138 adults, 16 children and one infant making up 155 passengers along with seven crew members (two pilots, four flight attendants and one engineer).

    The passengers comprise one Singaporean, one Malaysian, one British, three South Koreans and 149 Indonesians, while the crew consists of six Indonesians and one French (the co-pilot). See the full manifest here.

    The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) confirmed that the Singaporean on board the missing flight is a two year-old girl travelling with her father, the British national.

    QZ8501 lost contact with Indonesian air traffic control at 7:55am local time, 42 minutes after departure and an hour before it was scheduled to land in Singapore.

    Reuters reports that the aircraft was between the Indonesian port of Tanjung Pandan and the town of Pontianak, in West Kalimantan on Borneo island, when it went missing without a distress signal.

    The plane was on the submitted flight plan route before it asked for permission to deviate to avoid "bad weather" described by officials as dense storm clouds, strong winds and lightning.

    "The plane requested to the air traffic control to fly to the left side which was approved, but their request to fly to 38,000 feet level from 32,000 feet could not be approved at that time due to a traffic, there was a flight above, and five minutes later the flight disappeared from radar," said an Indonesian air transport official.



    The captain in command had a substantial total of 6,100 flying hours and the first officer a total of 2,275 flying hours, said AirAsia, adding that the jet underwent its last scheduled maintenance on 16 November 2014.

    Air Asia chief Tony Fernandes confirmed the plane had been given the all-clear by aviation technicians, was in "good condition" and "has never had any problems whatsoever".

    Indonesia responded by dispatching seven aircrafts, four navy ships and six boats from its search and rescue agency. It has also received offers of support from Australia, Singapore, Britain, South Korea and Malaysia so far.

    A C130 plane was deployed by the Republic of Singapore Air Force in the afternoon, with another of its aircraft due to join the search on Monday morning along with four vessels from the Republic of Singapore Navy.

    In a statement late Sunday afternoon, the CAAS said that the next-of-kin of the Singaporean on board were contacted and were at the Changi Airport Relatives Holding Area (RHA).

    "They are being provided with all necessary assistance and support," CAAS said. "Assistance and support are likewise being provided to the relatives and friends of affected passengers who are at the RHA."

    According to the Changi Airport Group, as of 6:30pm on Sunday, 47 relatives and friends of 57 passengers on board the missing flight have registered at the holding area.

    "Help and support are being provided to them at the RHA by 36 Changi Airport Group (CAG) care officers and four counsellors from the Ministry of Social and Famiy Development," it said, adding that other staff from AirAsia, airport partners and officials from the Indonesia embassy in Singapore were also assisting.




    According to Airbus, the missing A320-200 is a twin-engine single-aisle aircraft seating up to 180 passengers in a single-class configuration.

    It was registered as PK-AXC and was delivered to AirAsia from the production line in October 2008. Powered by CFM 56-5B engines, it had accumulated approximately 23,000 flight hours in some 13,600 flights.

    Airbus said it would provide full assistance to authorities in charge of the investigation.

    AirAsia has established an Emergency Call Centre that is available for family or friends of those who may have been on board the aircraft. The number is: +622129850801.

    AirAsia will release further information as soon as it becomes available. Updated information will also be posted on the AirAsia website at www.airasia.com.

    (Correction: This article initially identified the aircraft as an A380. It is an A320.)

    Missing plane likely at bottom of sea, Indonesian officials say
    [I]
    The Washington Post

    3 hrs ago

      







    An AirAsia plane sits on the tarmac at Soekarno-Hatta airport in Tangerang near Jakarta on December 28, 2014. An AirAsia plane with 162 people on board went missing en route from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore early on December 28, 2014, officials and the airline said, in the third major incident to affect a Malaysian carrier this year. AirAsia plane goes missing; relatives anxiously wait for news BEIJING — Rescue crews in the Java Sea widened the search Monday for a missing AirAsia plane with 162 people aboard even as Indonesia authorities speculated the main wreckage was already at the bottom of the sea.

    A second day of reconnaissance yielded little and hopes for survivors faded.

    An Indonesian helicopter crew spotted only two oily patches. Search officials, however, said was unclear whether they were related to the Singapore-bound aircraft — whose last air traffic contact Sunday was a request by the pilot to climb to 38,000 feet after encountering rough weather.

    The sudden disappearance and frustrating maritime search is eerily familiar to Malaysia Airlines jetliner last contacted over the Indian Ocean in March. That plane, with 239 people on board, is still lost.

    Indonesian authorities called their belief that the jet plunged to the seabed a “preliminary suspicion.” National Search and Rescue Agency chief Bambang Soelistyo at a press conference said the theory was based on the plane’s last coordinates and the estimated crash position.

    But Soelistyo said Indonesia lacks the equipment needed to find and retrieve a plane from such depths and has reached out to other countries for help, including the United States, Britain and France.

    Meanwhile, more vessels and planes joined the search.

    Indonesia’s vice president, Jusuf Kalla, told reporters 30 ships and 15 aircraft have been deployed. Included in the search are vessels and planes from Malaysia, Singapore and Australia. And South Korea said it also planned to send a surveillance plane to help.

    The Airbus A320-200 encountered a string of thunderstorms and heavy clouds over the Java Sea while flying from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore.

    Indonesia’s state-owned navigation provider AirNav several local media on Monday an account of the plane’s last communication with air traffic controllers.

    AirNav safety and standard director Wisnu Darjono said the pilot asked Soekarno-Hatta Airport’s air traffic control at 6:12 a.m. for permission to turn left to avoid bad weather. Permission was granted, and the plane turned seven miles to its left flank, the Jakarta Post reported.

    The pilot then requested to climb from 32,000 to 38,000 feet, but did not explain why.

    Jakarta’s air traffic control conferred with Singapore-based counterparts for a few minutes and agreed to allow increasing the altitude to 34,000 feet because a second AirAsia flight QZ8502 was flying above at 38,000 feet.

    By the time they relayed the permission to climb at 6:14 p.m., there was no reply, Darjono said.

    Investigators are trying to locate debris from the crash and then work backwards following currents to find the wreckage on the seabed. To do so, they will need ships equipped with advanced sonar and search vehicles that can look for signs of the wreckage underwater, experts said.

    Once the wreckage is found, the cockpit voice and flight data recorders would offer the most substantial clues as to what went wrong.

    Indonesian authorities are searching near Belitung island in the Java Sea, where flight QZ8501 lost contact. At nightfall Monday, authorities suspended the air search until morning, but said ships will remain in the search zone overnight.

    And after two days of challenging search conditions, authorities can expect “perfect weather” on Tuesday and Wednesday, said Adi Eka Sakya, the head of Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency at a Jakarta press conference. But those favorable conditions could turn severe by Friday with torrential rains.

    An Australian search plane reported Monday afternoon seeing objects hundreds of miles away, but Indonesian officials later ruled it out as an unrelated plane.

    Even as the reason for the crash remained unclear, shares of AirAsia dropped sharply in trading Monday.

    The belief by Indonesian officials that the plane has already plunged underwater would explain the lack of a signal from the plane’s emergency locator transmitter, said Australia-based aviation security expert Desmond Ross.

    “All these aircraft have this beacon that triggers on impact and sends a signal to satellites,” Ross said. “If it’s gone to the bottom of the sea, we probably wouldn’t hear that signal.”

    Experts said the plane’s disappearance prompts several tantalizing questions.

    Bad weather appeared to play a role, but it is unclear why the pilot wasn’t able to avoid it earlier, said Ross, noting that modern commercial jets are equipped with radar that can spot bad weather more than 100 miles ahead of its path.

    The speed of the airplane will likely be at the forefront of any investigation, said John Cox, a former accident investigator. Radar suggests the plane was flying at a low speed, Cox said. Overly slow speed at a high altitude could cause an airplane to stall with insufficient lift to sustain flight, he said.

    Geoffrey Thomas, editor of airlineratings.com, said he reviewed radar data of the flight obtained by other A320 pilots showing the plane at an altitude of 36,300 feet and climbing and traveling at 353 knots or roughly 406 miles per hour — a relatively low speed for that altitude.

    Many experts have compared the AirAsia flight to the crash of an Air France flight in 2009 in which airspeed measurements failed, leading pilots to put the plane into a stall. While wreckage of the Air France flight was spotted within days, it took two years for the black-box recorder to be found and retrieved.

    “I don’t think it will take nearly as long in this case,” said Cox. Indonesian authorities have big advantages over previous searchers searchers for Air France flight and the still unrecovered MH370 Malaysia Airline plane that vanished this spring. The waters now being searched are much shallower and the search area smaller.

    Another Malaysia Airlines jet was shot down over eastern Ukraine in July, killing all 298 people aboard.

    While no one was sure if weather was the cause of the disappearance, it probably complicated things, according to AccuWeather.com meteorologist Alex Sosnowski, who said, “The storms in the area were capable of producing severe turbulence, strong wind shear, frequent lightning and icing.” December and January are the wettest months in Indonesia.

    Aviation experts could only speculate as to why there was no distress call. One likely possibility was that a sudden and probably catastrophic depressurization incapacitated the pilots or the communications equipment.

    Indonesia Search & Rescue Believes Missing AirAsia Jet At ‘Bottom Of Sea’
    By Monica Sanchez | 6 hours ago

    Hope is fading in the multinational search for missing AirAsia Flight 8501.

    The chief of Indonesia’s national search and rescue agency now believes the missing AirAsia jet is sitting at "the bottom of the sea,” reported CNN.

    "(Because) the coordinate that was given to us and the evolution from the calculation point of the flight track is at sea, our early conjecture is that the plane is in the bottom of the sea," Bambang Sulistyo, head of Indonesia's national search and rescue agency, told CNN reporters earlier today.

    CNN correspondent Andrew Stevens warned that information regarding the location of the plane and its status has yet to be verified.
    http://www.cnn.com/2014/12/27/world/...html?hpt=hp_t1

    “We don’t know yet what they are using and what information they have that we don’t have to dare to say something like that.”

    He continued, “Obviously, there has been a search. There was a search yesterday when the plane first disappeared and it’s been ongoing now for three or four hours today.”
    Families of the 162 missing passengers are being briefed by AirAsia officials regarding the status of the aircraft.


    “There is indication that the plane has crashed in this area and it is just a matter of time to find the black box… and locate the plane,” says Stevens.
    The AirAsia jet lost contact early Sunday morning, after the flight crew sent a request to change course due to “bad weather conditions.”

    Flight 8501 “was requesting deviation due to en route weather before communication with the aircraft was lost,” AirAsia said according to Fox News. http://fox17online.com/2014/12/27/br...eople-missing/

    This is a second incident involving a Malayasian airline losing contact and disappearing this year.

    The first involved the Malaysia Airlines MH370 jet that vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing back in March. The plane and its 239 passengers and crew remain missing to this day. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-26503141

    UPDATE: Air crews searching in Southeast Asia for missing AirAsia Flight 8501 have spotted oily spots and objects in the sea. Whether the spots or objects are connected to the missing jet is still unknown. http://www.10news.com/news/airasia-f...om-of-the-sea?

    “ALLAHU AKBAR, ALLAHU AKBAR!” Were the Last Words of the Pilot on Air Asia Flight #8501
    By Lauren Richardson - 8:22 am January 15, 2015 [/I]

    The National Transportation Safety Committee investigator, Nurcahyo Utomo said listening to recording from black boxes over and over again can be disturbing and requires utmost mental strength.

    This was especially difficult for Nurchayo who knew the pilot Captain Indriyanto personally saying, “Indriyanto was my senior and he is the one who taught me how to fly.” http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2015...-allahu-akbar/

    “Listening to the playback of a black box involved in a crash is not like listening to music or a discussion.”

    >snip<

    “We are listening to a recording that represents the last moments before the crash and it is disturbing. There are times where the investigators would get unnerved listening to the recording,”
    Analyzing the recording while listening to their final words like “Allahuakhbar” repeatedly, gave the investigators goose bumps, and made them cringe Nurcahyo said.

    “It is as if we can feel them… ‘Allahuakhbar, Allahuakhbar’ were the last words said before they all died.’

    Investigator Nurcahyo Utomo an expert examiner blackbox recording of National Transportation Safety Committee (NTSC). He was assigned to check the recording of a conversation Captain irianto that fateful plane flew Air Asia, QZ8501. But it was not an easy task for him, because he knew very close to the former pilot of the Indonesian Air Force pilots.

    As quoted from Dailymail, Wednesday (14/01/2015), Nurcahyo can not imagine what the last words of Captain irianto, before the plane crashed in the Strait dikemudikannya Karimata. “Listening to a recording of the black box can be annoying repetitive and requires good mental strength,” he said.

    “Listening to the black box recording an aircraft involved in an accident do not like listening to music or discussion,” he continued.

    According to him, based on the experience of listening to recordings of conversations black box of some aircraft that crashed, the last words are often heard from the black box recording is Allahu Akhbar said. “The words that make me cringe,” he said.

    YAHOO NEWS LEFT OUT CRUCIAL DETAIL IN AIRASIA ‘ALLAHU AKBAR’ STORY
    Posted on Jan 14, 2015 at 9:55 AM

    IMPORTANT UPDATE: Yahoo News sourced their version of this article to the New Straits Times Online. So I went to this website and found the original article http://www.nst.com.my/node/69503 and it turns out Yahoo News left something very important out

    Analysing the recording while listening to their final words like “Allahuakhbar” repeatedly, give the investigators goose bumps, Nurcahyo said.

    “It is as if we can feel them… Allahuakhbar, Allahuakhbar were the last words said before they died,” he said referring to his experience examining black boxes from past crashes.

    The phrase “he said referring to his experience examining black boxes from past crashes” was completely left out of the Yahoo News story even though the story is almost identical word for word. Why they would omit such a crucial detail, I’m really not sure. But I certainly can’t do that which is why I’m bringing it to your attention.

    White House: Obama Will Fight Media To Stop Anti-Jihad Articles[I]
    by Wochit 1:00 mins

    President Barack Obama has a moral responsibility to push back on the nation’s journalism community when it is planning to publish anti-jihadi articles that might cause a jihadi attack against the nation’s defenses forces, the White House’s press secretary said Jan. 12.

    “The president … will not now be shy about expressing a view or taking the steps that are necessary to try to advocate for the safety and security of our men and women in uniform” whenever journalists’ work may provoke jihadist attacks, spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters at the White House’s daily briefing.

    The unprecedented reversal of Americans’ civil-military relations, and of the president’s duty to protect the First Amendment, was pushed by Earnest as he tried to excuse the administration’s opposition in 2012 to the publication of anti-jihadi cartoons by the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
