737 Missing

Area of high ECM activity, GPS spoofing an jamming, could it be a factor ?
I wouldn't operate my aircraft there.

I flew by that area a few hours later and had no GPS issues. Not to say it wasn't a factor at the time of the crash.

Seeing reports they found wreckage on Reddit ...

I saw somewhere that it just came out of maintenance. So that's the other wildcard.

They reported a “navigation issue” before going down at a high rate, then an increase in climb at a high rate, and then a final dive.


Smells like Adam Air 574.

Read that they reported inability to maintain control.

The CVR audio was leaked on online.

In a nutshell, some IR mode issues, where they had to go to ATT. That kicks off the AP and neither took manual control. Previous mx issues made this airplane have a slight right aileron roll when left unattended. They banked and continued to overbank, without realizing, and then resulted in a loss of control. In a dive when they broke out of the clouds and saw the ground, they just pulled back hard without first leveling the wings. Ended up breaking the horz stab and continued breakup in flight.


Sucks. After the snap off, it’s a bunch of God-is-great (Allah o akbar) on the CVR.
