99% BAD HARDWARE WEEK: Cheers ! If all your plane comms fail and you want to land how you would contact Flight Control ? By mobile, of course. But don't forget your plane is flying and you have to stop to make a call saying them that you want to land. AND... in taht goal you need to fly below 8000 feet and below 370 kmph speed to reach final 260 kmph landing speed. Pretty risky. Impossible ? Well almost. Safe? Not in any way. Especially by night like in MH370 case.
"At 30,000 feet, call may work momentarily while near a cell site, but it’s chancy and the connection won’t last.” AND YOU HAVE ONLY TWO MINUTES TO MAKE CONTACT AND FINISH EMERGENCY CALL UNDER MOST FAVORABLE CALL CONDITIONS DESCRIBED BELOW.
| altitude (in feet) | calls tried | calls successful | percent success |
| 2000 | 4 | 3 | 75% |
| 4000 | 4 | 1 | 25% |
| 6000 | 12 | 2 | 17% |
| 8000 | 12* | 1 | 8% |
What to do ? I would circle over aiport, until another posibble military come and lead me down. Landing by night with comms failure AND in navigation equipment is almost sure disaster.
