KUALA LUMPUR: Communications satellites picked up faint electronic pulses from Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 after it went missing on Saturday, but the signals gave no indication about where the stray jet was heading nor its technical condition, a source close to the investigation said on Thursday.
The "pings" equated to an indication that the aircraft's maintenance troubleshooting systems were ready to communicate with satellites if needed, but no links were opened because Malaysia Airlines and others had not subscribed to the full troubleshooting service, the source said.
The Americans know something they aren't divulging. I'll bet that the airplane is eventually found somewhere west of Kuala Lumpur.
I guarantee that while Malaysia Airlines may have not been signed up for the full troubleshooting service, the manufacturers still receive the full diagnostic signal. And that diagnosis would provide whether the engines went through a landing protocol or not.
