Hmmm so they say no report of mechanical problems BEFORE radar lost contact. But doesn't say anything about why the aircraft was out 40 minutes longer than it was suppose to be at that final contact time they had with the ground. Just strange, if that timeline is indeed accurate. UH OH! Looks like the timeline "TIME OF LAST CONTACT" is changing... at least in the press. The Indonesian Search and Rescue Agency chief, Vice Marshal Daryatmo told The Jakarta Post ... He said the last contact was made at about 2:33 p.m. Jakarta time (GMT +7) ... . Meanwhile, the Russian Embassy’s press attaché, Dmitri Solodov told the Post that the aircraft was on its second demo flight when its signal was lost from the radar. ... Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported that the pilots had requested permission to descend from 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) to 6,000 feet quoting air traffic controllers. “After it was cleared for descent the plane started turning right and descending but then disappeared from the radar screens at an altitude of 6,200 feet in a mountainous area, about 40 nautical miles from Jakarta airport,” the news agency said. “By the time the plane was due to return it should have burned up its fuel.” .... He said the aircraft took off from Halim at about 2:21 p.m. and did not make radio contact with Husein Sastranegara’s tower.
