Yup, still beating a dead horse
Refering to PfT's contentions. Well, you said it,not me.I guess.
As long as you're all still answering,
I'll keep replying as well.
Ok fine but I thought you actually wanted something to come of all of PfT's extensive research. I guess I was incorrect in that.
Jaydee, what are the chances that L3 as a company would endorse JREF,
or PFT?
Well given that it is now obvious, from past exclamations from PfT , that if they did comment negatively on PfT that they would be in for accusations of cover-up and of being traitors. So PfT has poisoned the well. Does that make you all gushy and warm inside?
Now just what from the pages of the JREF forum would you want L3 to "endorse"? Perhaps what you meant to say was that you wonder if L3 agrees that the data stored on their product, having come from Flight 77, illustrates the same flight path that the physical damage path on the ground does (within the acceptable errors). I believe that L3 would indeed endorse such a senario. Unless of course someone were to show them cause to challenge that senario. After all if a good case could be made that their equipment is faulty they would be very interested in knowing about it.
What are the chances all employees of L3 would agree with either side
of this debate?
I believe very strongly that they would agree that the data stored on their company's product, having come from Flight 77, illustrates the same flight path that the physical damage path on the ground does (within the acceptable errors). If you believe differently then perhaps you'd care to give them your case in a consise, comprehensive technical fashion.
I still don't see how getting their approval of a study would make the case
any stronger?
Decorum would prevent me from stating what I feel you just said about yourself with that statement.
We both know now that PFT has submitted their study, but no response
was given (for/against).
Actually we both know that PfT has done nothing of the sort. PfT has released a 'press release' in which they state their conclusions along with scant details on how they arrive at such conclusions, and a fair amount of accusation and vitriol with the request that the reader then watch a video. That hardly constitutes a "study" being submitted.
ETA: ,, and we also know that PfT has called L3 and made a few inquires about the FDR type in question. Still does not add up to "submitting" a study paper.
I've asked a couple of your members to find me a FDR expert from Juris Pro
that I may contact. Nothing.
Who do you feel I should contact to help the cause?
Well how about
http://www.iata.org/ps/intelligence_statistics/fda.htm
or this organization.

Oh and looky here
http://www.avtoday.com/asw/categories/maintenance/2034.html The publication Air Safety Week is interested in FDR analysis too.
Aviation Week has also published many articles on FDR's and their tech and analysis.
http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/generic/channel_.jsp?channel=awst In fact they did not shy away from reporting on the friction between the NTSB and the FBI during the TWA800 investigation. They should be a perfect venue for PfT's study.
So what will be your excuses for you and PfT not submitting a technical paper to any of these?
