If there is an emergency in flying the plane, you don’t try to control it remotely. The pilot would take control immediately.
That’s what I thought, that if something horrible is happening on board mechanically, they wouldn’t even bother to do this, they would take the plane to the nearest airport, not bother punching in some fly path
Especially this ace pilot.
I’m pretty committed to the wreckage/debris field off Pulau Palax, but this engineer changes everything. I think the pilot would have done everything to recover control, unless someone incapacitated him.
That may not be policy for Air France.
And would probably radio some sort of mayday.
