Stall speed is at least 104 knots which is very close to 120 mph. Not exactly soft.

Yes, harry,....oil, the reason for the great Oz search.

Answer the question, muppet.
What whackjob website did you get this looney tunes shite from?

Who the fwk d'you think you are, drongo?
Do your own research. You're working in the sandpit, go ask the geologists there, or if you can't go google.

Why would it be?

Don't be purposely obtuse.

To look for oil, as you claimed....turkey.

OOOH ! ENT has posted CHARTS !

Does that make him all knowledgeable ??

No.....that makes him a pretentious twit.

Geologists take samples before creating charts. And the survey ships had sonar, not machinery to take continual samples from the ocean floor.

You complete turkey, ENT.

He's getting all this crap off some conspiracy theory website.

He doesn't actually understand how stupid it is.

That's why he won't post the link, he knows how easy it will be to rip the piss.

Far more than you, oaf.

Geologists take samples before creating charts.

Sometimes. Geologists also survey, calculate and make projections to create charts.
How do you think the maps and charts of the South Perth basin were arrived at if not first surveyed.
Geologists don't have any samples of various asteroids and planets, yet are able to analyze surveyed data to predict the composition of those rocks in space.

And the survey ships had sonar, not machinery to take continual samples from the ocean floor.

Survey was the mission. Once surveyed and data analyzed by geologists, test bores may be drilled, in areas projected to contain oil deposit, the whole process not reliant on even a single geological sample that indicates oil, as it would all be buried under metres of overlying rock, otherwise the oil wouldn't be there.

A fat lot you know about geology and geological survey you little mincer.

You're really full of shit harry.
There's no link to any website to post, it's all common knowledge to those with an educational level higher than business studies,... those with a brain, which you don't seem to possess in anything more than a minimum capacity necessary for you to make sense of the mundane.

You can keep trying to waffle with the conspiratorial nonsense you find, but ultimately it's just that, nonsense.

They already knew the shape of the seabed in the Southern Indian Ocean, all they've done is significantly increased the resolution of known scans.

This is about as useful as a foreskin in a jewish nudist camp when it comes to deciding whether to invest hundreds of millions drilling in water that deep, even if they were interested - which they're not at $50 a barrel, which shows how much you know about the oil industry.

Not to mention that it's in international waters, something you seem to think means anyone can just pitch up and start drilling.

What you're posting isn't "common knowledge".

It's just you posting bullshit not realising how fucking stupid you sound.

Very useful, as without that survey, accurately defining and interpreting the morphology of underwater geography to ascertain the highest probability of oil or gas deposits would be impossible.

deciding whether to invest hundreds of millions drilling in water that deep, even if they were interested .

If it's economically viable, drilling will go ahead.

No one's mentioned that. Anything outside of Oz's EEZ is under ISA jurisdiction, which is already having to cope with increasing demands to drill for oil in international waters.

What you're posting isn't "common knowledge".

Probably not to a myopic.
The thing is harry, you're full of bullshit and bluster.
If your claim is correct, then nobody would be drilling for oil offshore at depths of up to 11,000 ft, now would they?

The Broken Ridge area of the Naturaliste Plateau is at a depth of around 3,500 ft, the plateau north of that is under around 7,000 ft of water, well within the depth limits of modern rigs, so no big problem to drill there if recent surveys cast a better light on the oceanic topography, which if correctly interpreted, can be an indicator of potential oil reservoirs, and then it's decided to test drill there.

Without those high resolution scans, the task would have been nigh on impossible.

This one for instance, of the area being discussed.

Enough of the stupid pictures.

No-one is drilling in 10,000+ feet of water at $50 a barrel you moron.

And no-one was drilling at that depth when it was $150 based on a fucking sonar survey. That's why they developed wide azimuth surveys.

Why do you insist on repeating the same shit in the hope that someone will believe it?

Put your money where your mouth is and go and buy some shares in SeaDrill and TransOcean, and watch while they go down the fucking toilet.

Apologies ENT, was enjoying this 'debate' too much!!

My take on RAT deployment fwiw is that a controlled ditching would be with all engines and flight controls operational. ie no RAT.
In the event of fuel starvation, the RAT would automatically deploy and provide hydraulic power to only some flight controls. The ensuing ditching would therefore be much less controllable.

Thanks for the feedback, very useful info!

My take on it was that the RAT was not deployed, as it would have damaged the plane's fuselage as it was ripped off plus its hatch cover on impact with the sea surface. So far, no debris to point to that event has surfaced. The plane did not run out of fuel, as speculated and the engines were shut off by the pilot after ditching, which may account for that final "handshake" with INMARSAT.

OT I read somewhere there are more oil reserves under Yemen than in any other country.

And yet the final handshake was from a partial startup, which more likely would be explained by the RAT deploying and powering up just before ditching.

There would not be a final handshake from a shut down, except in your bizarre imagination.

The area surveyed of Broken Ridge Naturaliste Plateau is under 3,3000 ft of water, not 10,000 ft.

And no-one was drilling at that depth when it was $150 based on a fucking sonar survey.

Neither was anyone using wide azimuth survey methods to look for oil at that depth either,

That's why they developed wide azimuth surveys

.
A very expensive and highly technical seismic survey method involving positioning of components in a grid pattern on the sea floor, so not suitable for extensive searches in depths of 3,000 ft or more, as in the MH370 search.
Why do you think sonar is still used for oil exploration?

<deleted another stupid picture>

Seismic survey methods used by Fugro Equator complement its sub-seabed and side scanning sonar to achieve and support the high resolution images retrieved and so far published, as in this one below, at a far lower cost.

<deleted another stupid picture>

Put your money where your mouth is and go and buy some shares in SeaDrill and TransOcean, and watch while they go down the fucking toilet.

Market forces fluctuate, and cost of oil production a few years ago saw claims of "peak oil" production as occurring in or around 2010, ,,,but it never happened except on paper. There are enormous supplies of oil yet to be retrieved, when production costs and methods meet market demands once more.

I wouldn't speculate on the timing of that event.

You know, you keep repeating this nonsense with pretty pictures galore as if it is anyway related to this thread and it's beyond boring; so what is your actual fairy story?

Did the pilot fly this plane and ditch it there so Big Oil could get some cheap sonar work done at the expense of various governments? Was he on the Chevron payroll?

Or are Inmarsat in on it too, and provided fake data for them?

Maybe you can spare us more pointless waffling if you just take your tin foil hat off and state your case.
