THE co-pilot of the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 was the one who said “All right. Good night”, initial investigations showed, Malaysian officials said.
Malaysia Airlines CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya tonight revealed this at the latest media conference.
It was also revealed that the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) had been deliberately shut down just after Kota Baru, and the transponder turned off near Igari.
Mr Jauhari told reporters that the last transmission from ACARS was at 1.07am on March 8 but it was unknown when it was switched off. It did not transmit 30 minutes later as programmed.
Earlier today it was revealed MH370 may have used a dangerous technique employed by military pilots to fly low over mountainous terrain and avoid detection shortly after it turned away from its original course.
As authorities probing the mysterious disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines plane focused on the pilots, an unnamed source in Malaysian newspaper the New Straits Times said the Boeing 777 may have dropped to just 5000ft to defeat commercial radar.
