Caveat: burning forests for paper production is common this time of year.Singapore has searched a third of allocated area. Singapore has been given a search zone in the Java Sea of 60 nautical miles by 190 nautical miles, an area about 55 times larger than Singapore.With the missing flight QZ8501, families need evidence and answers, not speculation. 

AirAsia flight QZ8501: extended search resumes amid fading hopes-The Australian-December 30, 2014 1:22PM

1.16pm: The US State Department has confirmed it is sending a Destroyer to the Java Sea, to help in the search for AirAsia flight QZ 8501. Equipment on the ship may include detection equipment deployed by air, surface and sub-surface.

12.06am: Smoke has been reportedly seen on an island in the area where AirAsia flight QZ8501 disappeared from the radar. CNN is reporting that planes have been diverted to check the source of the smoke.

11.28am: Dozens of planes and ships searching Indonesian waters for missing AirAsia flight 8501 are focusing on a patch of oil for possible clues of the plane’s whereabouts.

Australia, Malaysia and Singapore have joined the Indonesia-led search, and China says it is also sending help.The search is now concentrated on an oil patch spotted off Belitung island, across from Kalimantan on Borneo island.“We are making sure whether it was avtur (aviation fuel) from the AirAsia plane or from a vessel because that location is a shipping line,” Indonesian Air Force spokesman Hadi Tjahjanto said. National Search and Rescue Agency chief Bambang Soelistyo said ships and aircraft were searching an area where the sea is 40-50 metres deep.

10:50am: The daughter of the AirAsia pilot Irianto has begged: “Papa come home, I still need Papa.” Mr Irianto’s daughter Angela used local social media for her grief stricken plea.In the French Caribbean island of Martinique, the mother of co-pilot Remi Emmanuel Plesel said she was heartbroken and that she had “a bad feeling” when the phone rang in the middle of the night. “He wanted to be a pilot ever since he was a child,” Rolande Plesel said.

9.53am: It has emerged that, while AirAsia was upgrading its satellite tracking system, the missing AirAsia flight QZ8501 had not yet been modifed. Read the full story here:AirAsia plane’s tracker not upgraded

9.26am: Some passengers had a narrow escape when they failed to board the missing AirAsia plane after missing an email telling them the departure time had changed: Late AirAsia passengers had lucky escape

8.08am: Reports of debris and an oil slick spotted in the Java Sea have been discounted by Indonesian officials. Indonesia Vice-President Jusuf Kalla told reporters of the debris: “It has been checked and no sufficient evidence was found to confirm what was reported.”

7.52am: It looks increasingly likely that the missing AirAsia flight QZ8501 encountered atrocious weather before disappearing from the radar. The region it was flying over is known for severe thunder storms in December and January, which produce heavy turbulence, lightning, wind shear and iceing - all of which pose risks to aircraft.Indonesia’s weather agency said it had informed airlines of cumulonimbus clouds, which can cause severe thunder storms, in the region before AirAsia’s departure.

7.36am: An Indonesian university student studying in Melbourne is believed to be among the passengers on the missing AirAsia plane.Kevin Alexander Soetjipto from Malang in East Java was studying finance at Monash University’s Clayton campus, according to his LinkedIn profile. He was due to graduate next year.Kevin Alexander Soetjipto, a student at the Clayton campus of Monash University was on the plane. Picture: Facebook.Mr Soetjipto was travelling with his family from Surabaya to Singapore.Monash spokeswoman Stacey Mair said the university was still seeking official confirmation from authorities that one of its students was onboard.“We are deeply saddened to learn this news in relation to one of our valued student community,” she told AAP.The university would be offering counselling support to Mr Soetjipto’s friends and classmates.She said thoughts and prayers were with all the families of those onboard.Mr Soetjipto’s name is published in Indonesian media on the AirAsia flight QZ8501 passenger list.

7.35am: There is some frustration among passengers about the amount of information they are getting from officials. One relative told CNN that they were getting more information from media than from official sources.AirAsia Group CEO Tony Fernandes (L) and Indonesian Vice President Jusuf Kalla (R) at a press conference at Juanda International Airport.

7.33am: The sister of Remi Plesel, the French copilot of missing AirAsia flight QZ8501 has paid tribute to an “excellent” pilot who had dreamed of flying as a boy.Aviation was his passion, his sister Renee told French radio station RTL.“Since he was very young, it was his dream to be a pilot and the dream came true. He had been in Indonesia for three years ... He was a very good pilot, an excellent one,” she said.

7.30am: Ships and planes will today resume an extended search for AirAsia flight QZ8501, which has been missing since Sunday morning. The search covers an area the size of California but there is little hope that they will find survivors.Indonesian naval officers prepare the operational air navigation map during the investiga.Indonesian naval officers prepare the operational air navigation map during the investigation of missing AirAsia flight QZ8501.It has emerged that the pilot’s request to increase altitude to avoid a storm system was denied because there was traffic overhead. Radar contact was lost about six minutes later. Developments in AirAsia tragedy.Flying safer despite year’s toll.The US State Department has said Indonesia has asked for help and Washington was considering ways in which it could help.

UPDATE-DEC 29,14-02:15PM
15 SHIPS AND 30 PLANES HAVE BEEN SCOURING THE SOUTH BORNEO-JAVA AREA.AND THE AREA EXPANDS TONIGHT AFTER 6PM WHEN ITS 6AM IN INDONESIA AREA.It is 1:23 AM local time in Belitung (GMT +7). Most likely there wont' be anything important happening until the day break when the search operation resume. Come back in 5 hours.Metro TV interview a local ship captain who claimed that he noticed a red plane flying low yesterday at 00' 17' 202 S dan 105' 40' 422 E.According to the Guardian ≥ Air traffic controllers cited a crowded airspace as the reason they denied AirAsia 8501 its request to increase its altitude minutes before the plane disappeared, AP reports.Six other commercial airliners were flying above the threatening Cumulonimbus clouds, controllers said, delaying the approval. More from AP:Minutes later, the jet carrying 162 people was gone from the radar. No distress signal was issued. It is believed to have crashed into Indonesia’s Java Sea on Sunday morning, but exactly what happened and whether the plane’s flight path played any role won’t be determined until after the aircraft is found.Broad aerial surveys on Monday spotted two oily patches and objects in separate locations, but it’s unknown whether any of it is related to the missing Airbus A320-200.The last communication from the cockpit to air traffic control was a request by one of the pilots to increase altitude from 32,000ft (9,754m) to 38,000ft (11,582m) because of the rough weather. The tower was not able to immediately comply because of the other planes, said Bambang Tjahjono, director of the state-owned company in charge of air-traffic control.AP spoke with a former pilot, Sarjono Joni, who’s familiar with Indonesian flight plans and weather. Sarjono said planes usually veer left or right when they encounter rough weather, and that pilots would only likely request to increase altitude if the plane was already experiencing heavy turbulence.Heavy air traffic is common for the area, which bridges several densely populated cities.According to Channel News Asia.An object spotted in the Java Sea early Monday was actually a personal locator beacon worn by rescuers, The Star quoted the chief of BASARNAS as saying.Mr Bambang Soelistyo also said search operations for QZ8501 will extend to land on the western part of West Kalimantan on Tuesday, The Star reports.

As AirAsia search ends second day, families can only wait-By Devianti Faridz, Indonesia correspondent,Channel NewsAsia-POSTED: 29 Dec 2014 20:14-UPDATED: 29 Dec 2014 22:52

SURABAYA, Indonesia: Family members gathered and hugged and cried at the international airport here as they anxiously awaited news on the fate of passengers aboard AirAsia Flight QZ8501 as a second day of an intense multi-nation search for the plane headed into dusk.Authorities had little new to report and little evidence on why the jet lost contact en route from Surabaya to Singapore shortly after the pilot requested permission to head to a higher altitude in the face of a storm, Channel NewsAsia reports.The inability to immediately find the plane has brought back echoes of the ordeal of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 and questions of how what appeared to be a routine flight could go so wrong."I found out from television yesterday morning, and I found the names there in the list and so I was shocked and was not sure the first time," said one anxious family member waiting for any information.Another family member said that more detail was needed. "Regardless of the fact that this is a tragedy, questions emerge on why the flight was moved up from 7.30am to 5.20am that day,” the second person said. “I believe many families would like to know the reason. If they hadn't left earlier, this may not have happened."The head of the aviation authority at Surabaya’s Juanda International Airport, Pramintohadi Sukarno, said that the investigation would be thorough from his end."We follow the regulations starting from the investigation on the possibility of the performance of the aircraft. On the other hand, we have to check all the procedures whether they comply or not with the civil aviation security part of ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) regulations."But until authorities find evidence of the whereabouts of the missing plane, distraught families and friends of those on board have little choice but to wait for the next briefing and hope their loved ones will be found.AirAsia has provided free accommodation and transport to and from the airport for family members and Surabaya City officials have set up a call centre and offered assistance to locate next-of-kin and to provide counselling."We have begun safeguarding some houses in which entire families had left empty to go on a vacation,” said Tri Rismaharini, the mayor of Surabaya. “I'm working with local police and neighbourhood officials to help keep an eye on the houses."- CNA/el

Did Mysterious Chinese Blogger Predict Disappearance of AirAsia Flight?-Weibo user warned travelers to avoid AirAsia in series of posts-by Paul Joseph Watson | December 29, 2014

A mysterious user of the Chinese social media network Weibo apparently predicted the disappearance on AirAsia Flight QZ8501 almost two weeks before the plane went missing, urgently warning Chinese nationals not to use the airliner in dozens of posts.The report, carried by the Epoch Times, relates the story of how the individual “repeatedly warned people away from Malaysia Airlines (and) AirAsia.”“Do not become another victim of MH370,” warned the individual in a December 15 post, adding that AirAsia was about to be targeted by “powerful” forces which he referred to as the “black hand”.“This is a life-saving message to Europe or the US tour, do not take AirAsia (or) Malaysia Airlines airliner,” states the translated version of one of the posts.The user went on to assert that the “black hand” was out to “ruin AirAsia,” Malaysia’s second largest airline company. Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 went missing in March earlier this year, while MH17 was shot down over Ukraine in July.The individual repeated his warning in subsequent posts made on the 16th and 17th of December, writing, “This is a major event in human life, we have to pay attention,” adding, “far from AirAsia, Malaysia Airlines away, cherish life.”Speculation on the Reddit forum by Chinese users suggests that the posts may have originally been made on the 15th but then later edited with the prediction about AirAsia added after the disappearance of Flight QZ8501.The user made a total of 39 posts on the subject which were viewed by 650,000 people. After flight QZ8501 disappeared, users returned to the threads to express amazement at the individual’s prediction, speculating that he was an “insider” of some kind or connected to the Malaysian or Chinese government.Investigators are still hunting for the wreckage of the AirAsia flight, which had 162 passengers on board when it disappeared during a flight from Surabaya to Singapore, with the head of Indonesia’s search-and-rescue team asserting that the plane is likely to be at the bottom of the sea.No Chinese nationals were on Flight QZ8501 when it went missing.A separate report carried by Russian news outlet Sputnik claims that “a relative of a missing passenger received a text message from an unknown sender, stating that the plane made an emergency landing and all passengers were alive,” although this was never subsequently confirmed.Unidentified objects discovered in the Java Sea by an Australian AP-3C Orion patrol aircraft are not likely to be wreckage from the AirAsia Flight.Facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/paul.j.watson.71

MH370: B777 captain says he knows where it is!-Geoffrey Thomas AirlineRatings.com
24 Dec 2014-Experienced Boeing 777 says he has calculated where MH370 lies.airlineratings.com


A senior Boeing 777 captain, Simon Hardy, believes he has calculated exactly where the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 may have crashed into the Southern Indian Ocean.The position is S38.082 E87.400 (latitude and longitude using decimals rather than minutes).According to David Learmount of FlightGlobal arguably the world’s most respected airline safety editor the location given by the experienced captain “is not fundamentally at odds with the present MH370 search assumptions, being in much the same part of the southeastern Indian Ocean.”

Malaysia rejects evidence

However Mr Learmount adds that it is “just outside the core target area currently being trawled by a search team led by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB).”Capt Simon Hardy’s calculations are based on a combination of data which include the Inmarsat satellite communication "handshake arcs", his expertise in 777 performance calculation, and some mathematical "reverse engineering" of the navigation geometry known to apply to this flight.“Hardy is aware that many very able people have theories about MH370, not least those advising the search, but believes the result of his calculations is worthy of examination, and hopes the ATSB will find the result useful,” said Mr Learmount."I respectfully recommend it to the MH370 search team," Hardy told FlightGlobal.Captain Hardy is an experienced airline pilot and currently works as a senior 777 captain for a major international airline. “Like other aviators he was distressed by the MH370 loss, and his concern that relatives of those on board might never know what happened inspired him to begin a geometric investigation of known MH370 navigational facts. He emerged with a set of conclusions that enabled him to isolate what he believes to be MH370’s actual track,” said Mr Learmount.He explained his rationale and how the result emerged to FlightGlobal thus: "Rather than picking speeds and a route at random and making them fit with the [satcom handshake] arcs, I have managed to let the arcs tell us both the speed and direction, and finally a location – the exact track between arcs 4 and 6 – where it was doing that speed and heading. I have 'reverse engineered' it."He continues: "I was expecting to have to deduce a path from waypoint ANOKO [where Hardy calculates the 777 first turned southward] for the aircraft to get to this identified track across arcs 4-6, but then found to my amazement that the track line, when extended north from the 5th arc over a very large distance, went within 2nm of ANOKO. This was the final and strongest eureka moment!"Mr Learmount adds: “The "reverse engineering" involved testing a series of plausible tracks southward over the Indian Ocean from the 777's last known position, and discovering the only trajectory that – uniquely – matches the ratio of actual elapsed times between the consecutive Inmarsat/MH370 "handshakes". He then found, subsequently, that certain known data, when tested against that navigational trajectory, made sense. For example, on that identified track, the actual elapsed time between "handshake arcs" would occur if the 777 was flying at its long-range cruise speed – possibly a coincidence, but a likely choice by the person directing the flight.The ATSB told AirlineRatings.com that while they had not yet seen Captain Hardy's report they "remained confident in their analysis and will continue the search in the high priority areas we have determined."

Indonesia says missing AirAsia plane could be at 'bottom of sea'-Reuters-By Fergus Jensen and Siva Govindasamy-DEC 29,14-YAHOONEWS

JAKARTA (Reuters) - A missing AirAsia jet carrying 162 people could be at the bottom of the sea after it was presumed to have crashed off the Indonesian coast, an official said on Monday, as countries around Asia sent ships and planes to help in the search effort.The Indonesia AirAsia plane, an Airbus A320-200, disappeared after its pilot failed to get permission to fly higher to avoid bad weather during a flight from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore on Sunday.Flight QZ8501 did not issue a distress signal and disappeared over the Java Sea five minutes after requesting the change of course, which was refused because of heavy air traffic, officials said."Based on our coordinates, we expect it is in the sea, so for now (we think) it is on the sea floor," Soelistyo, head of Indonesia's search and rescue agency, told reporters when asked about the missing plane's likely location.A senior Indonesian civil aviation source told Reuters that authorities had the flight's radar data and were waiting for search and rescue teams to find debris before they started their investigation into the cause.Air force spokesman Hadi Tjahjanto said searchers were checking a report of an oil slick off the east coast of Belitung island, near where the plane lost contact. He also said searchers had picked up an emergency locator signal off the south of Borneo island but had been unable to pinpoint it.On board Flight QZ8501 were 155 Indonesians, three South Koreans, and one person each from Singapore, Malaysia and Britain. The co-pilot was French.The disappearance caps a disastrous year for Malaysia-affiliated airlines, with Indonesia AirAsia 49 percent owned by Malaysia-based budget carrier AirAsia.Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 went missing on March 8 on a trip from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 passengers and crew and has not been found. On July 17, the same airline's Flight MH17 was shot down over Ukraine, killing all 298 people on board.The AirAsia group, including affiliates in Thailand, the Philippines and India, had not suffered a crash since its Malaysian budget operations began in 2002. The group's shares in Kuala Lumpur were down 8 percent at 0813 GMT.

MULTINATIONAL SEARCH

Tjahjanto said two C-130 Hercules planes were focusing the search for Flight QZ8501 in areas northeast of Indonesia's Bangka island, about halfway between Surabaya and Singapore, in the Java Sea.Australia, Malaysia, Singapore and South Korea sent ships and aircraft to join the search, a foreign ministry official said. China also offered to send planes and ships and any other assistance Indonesia needed.Soelistyo said Indonesia might not have the best technology to search underwater and had accepted offers of help from the United States, Britain and France. In 2007, it took Indonesia months to recover flight data recorders from a Boeing 737-400 operated by Indonesia's Adam Air which crashed off Sulawesi island, killing all 102 people on board.According to Indonesian navy Flight Commander Laksamana Pertama Sigit Setiyanta, the sea depths in the area is only 25 to 50 meters (75-150 feet).Flight QZ8501 was traveling at 32,000 feet (9,753 meters) and had asked to fly at 38,000 feet to avoid clouds, said Joko Muryo Atmodjo, air transportation director at Indonesia's Transport Ministry.Permission was not given at the time due to traffic in the area. Five minutes later, at 6.17 a.m. on Sunday (2317 GMT Saturday), the plane lost contact with air traffic control, Atmodjo said.Data from Flightradar24.com, which tracks airline flights in real time, showed several nearby aircraft were at altitudes ranging from 34,000 to 36,000 feet at the time, levels that are not unusual for cruising aircraft.Pilots and aviation experts said thunderstorms, and requests to gain altitude to avoid them, were not unusual in that area."The airplane's performance is directly related to the temperature outside and increasing altitude can lead to freezing of the static radar, giving pilots an erroneous radar reading," said a Qantas Airways pilot with 25 years' experience flying in the region.The resulting danger is that pilots take incorrect action to control the aircraft, said the pilot, who requested anonymity.In such an emergency the pilots would likely have been wrestling to regain control of the aircraft and not had time to issue a distress signal, the Qantas pilot said.Online discussions among pilots centered on unconfirmed secondary radar data from Malaysia that suggested the missing plane was climbing at a speed of 353 knots, about 100 knots too slow in such weather conditions."At that altitude, that speed is exceedingly dangerous," Sydney-based aviation expert Geoff Thomas told Reuters."At that altitude, the thin air, the wings won't support the aircraft at that speed and you get an aerodynamic stall."Safety authorities say accidents involving a loss of control, such as might occur in bad weather, are rare but almost always catastrophic.

"MY HEART BLEEDS"

The Indonesian pilot was experienced and the plane last underwent maintenance in mid-November, the airline said. The aircraft had accumulated about 23,000 flight hours in some 13,600 flights, according to Airbus.Malaysia AirAsia chief Tony Fernandes flew to Surabaya and, along with Indonesian officials, updated distraught relatives of passengers at a crisis center at the airport in Indonesia's second-largest city."Keeping positive and staying strong," he said on Twitter."My heart bleeds for all the relatives of my crew and our passengers. Nothing is more important to us," he said.Indonesia's Transport Ministry said the government would review AirAsia's Indonesian business unit to improve safety.Indonesian President Joko Widodo urged people to pray for the safety of the passengers and crew. Such sentiments were echoed by other world leaders, including Pope Francis.Louise Sidharta was at Singapore's Changi Airport waiting for her fiancée to return from a family holiday."It was supposed to be their last vacation before we got married," she said.(Additional reporting by Gayatri Suroyo in SURABAYA, Chris Nusatya, Cindy Silviana, Kanupriya Kapoor, Michael Taylor and Siva Govindasamy in JAKARTA, Al-Zaquan Amer Hamzah and Praveen Menon in KUALA LUMPUR, Saeed Azhar, Rujun Shen and Anshuman Daga in SINGAPORE, Jane Wardell in SYDNEY, Ben Blanchard in BEIJING, and Tim Hepher in PARIS; Writing by Dean Yates and Paul Tait; Editing by Robert Birsel and Nick Macfie)

AirAsia flight QZ8501: Plane likely at bottom of the sea, says Indonesia's search chief-Published on Dec 29, 2014 10:30 AM-THE STRAITS TIMES

JAKARTA (AFP) - The AirAsia plane that went missing with 162 people on board en route for Singapore is likely at the bottom of the sea, Indonesia’s National Search and Rescue Agency chief said on Monday.“Based on the coordinates given to us and evaluation that the estimated crash position is in the sea, the hypothesis is the plane is at the bottom of the sea,” Mr Bambang Soelistyo told a press conference.“That’s the preliminary suspicion and it can develop based on the evaluation of the result of our search.”Mr Soelistyo said Indonesia did not have “the tools", such as submersible vehicles, required to retrieve the plane from the seabed, but that it is reaching out to other countries for help if necessary.“Due to the lack of technology that we have, I have coordinated with our foreign minister so we will borrow from other countries which have offered. They are the UK, France and US,” he said.The Airbus A320-200 disappeared on Sunday en route from Surabaya in Indonesia’s east Java to Singapore after the crew requested a change of flight plan due to stormy weather, in the third crisis for a Malaysian carrier this year.Singapore, Malaysia and Australia have dispatched aircraft and ships to assist Indonesia in the search, which is centred on the Java Sea. The United States has also said it was ready to assist.
