Why was there no distress calls during the 8 mins that the plane dropped from 38,000 ft to 8,000 ft ?
Seems strange no communication from the plane, not even the automatic squawk button was pressed. What type of emergency was this ?

It only takes something like 12 seconds for most people to lose consciousness on a plane if the cabin decompresses so it could be delayed reaction time from the pilot and then it was too late....
Terribly sad for all families and friends of those on board.

maybe the pilots took it off auto pilot but surely they would have put their own emergency air masks on. engine failure might be a cause but again why no distress messages. This is a bit of a mystery , devastating for the passengers and their families,and very worrying for the Air travel industry and Airbus.

By the sound of it, something went wrong with the auto cockpit navigation computer and if that's the case, the pilots wouldn't be aware that anything was going wrong until it was too late.

So the Pilots would have disengaged this computer and flown the plane manually and they would have reported the fault straight away.

I'm actually hoping that the whole plane was knocked out and that the passengers knew nothing about it as an 8 minute decent with everyone aware is just terrible. |

This would also explain why there was no MD to ground control. MD only happens after everything has done to get a plane out of danger.

We have an auto computer system on our boat and these things are very reliable. We do know someone who crashed their yacht into a harbour wall at night because his computer system had been incorrectly set. The thing about these auto navigation systems is, they have to be set by humans and so open to human error.

If it was 18 minutes it was a much slower decent.

so what was the first sound they heard ? could it be an explosion of some kind or catastrophic engine failure which would explain why the plane descended. I hope they can accurately piece together these events and understand what actually happened to cause this tragedy.

This is normal. Pilots are trained to, in emergencies, to first stablise the plane and gain control, second to regain control of direction and then to mayday. It would seem they did not get beyond 1

This has really unnerved me, probably because I flew Germanwings constantly when I lived in Germany (Edinburgh-Cologne route) and I'm flying next Friday... eurgh. Horrible tragedy!

The latest
is one Pilot was outside the door after going to the toilet he was banging hard on the door trying to be let in by the other pilot? So passengers near the Front would have heard the panic |

of the 10 crashes from this type of airplane:
8 have been pilot error 1 was hit by geese 1 had a landing gear issue caused by a mechanics error so it looks likely its pilot error? |

Yes so the Other Pilot locked him out while they started to go down. They must find out what the pilots background is. |
