Says the plane was equipped with ACARS (so the same as air France?) and basically if the transponder was "turned off" and they went to an altitude under 29,000 feet, they would not have been visible to radar?! Yay? Nay? |
Turning off the transponder doesn't make a plane invisable to radar, it's for identifying them.
