It has been revealed that there is critical and damming evidence about the captain’s flight simulator program missing from MH370 crash reports.
In a major revelation MH370 expert Richard Godfrey has found that key data recovered by the FBI showed Captain Zaharie Shah was checking on his home flight simulation program how far the fuel load would take him into the Southern Indian Ocean.
This new revelation adds significant weight to the mounting evidence indicating that the captain was the perpetrator of the disappearance of MH370.
The time of the simulation – February 2, 2014 – was just before the captain was due to fly MH150 to Jeddah but he did not divert it into the Southern Indian Ocean. Read more on this aspect here.
Mr Godfrey said “The major question arising from the FBI data, in the possession of the ATSB (Australian Transport Safety Bureau), but missing from the Royal Malaysian Police report is why the RMP did not include all the data from the FBI? Did the RMP have the data and decide not to include in their internal report? I doubt it.”
“In an email to the Independent Group dated 5th October 2017, the ATSB admits that they have several pages more data from the FBI, which was recovered from the home flight simulator of Captain Zaharie Shah than is contained in the leaked Royal Malaysian Police (RMP) report. This was originally thought to just be header and footer data, that was not relevant to the investigation of the disappearance of MH370. It turns out that this original assessment was wrong,” said Mr Godfrey,
“The question is then, why was the data given to the ATSB, but not to the RMP?”
“The ATSB has not disclosed the complete FBI data in their possession and this should now be done to provide transparency in the investigation. This would also enable independent investigators to analyse the data from the home flight simulator of Captain Zaharie Shah.”
