I understand most of what you wrote. I completely understand the “event” pings under ACRS and the fact that a ping was never sent when the gear dropped down because, per your theory, the gear never dropped down.
I kind of understand the AHM thing, the subscription service, the fact that never mind if the airline has the subscription service, the pings still go to Boeing.
Are you asking why Boeing does not volunteer this info? Or did Boeing volunteer and at this point my Blogging mind is overwhelmed by the engineering part of it?
Still and so, what a great post....great explanation....and I believe your theory is the one that makes the most sense.
I think that there is a lot known that the various governments and companies are NOT talking to the press about, but they know more than what is being reported. And I do not mean to sound conspiratorial, it’s just that by having access to certain data, anyone who knows you have that data then knows you can get to it and that will cause them to deploy a countermeasure which blocks the access...
Means and methods are some of our most classified secrets. I know; see my profile.
Great thoughts fishtalk. Where is Boeing? Where is Rolls Royce? Where is Iridium Corp.? None of these folks have been heard from. Just a continuous stream of useless info on all TV channels.
