the extra 4-5 hours of data from rolls royce only raises more questions - same theme with all the announcements it seems . ACARS uses the same transmitter as the engine data (i believe) so where is the 'missing' ACARS data ? RR have not said how the data flow ended - ie full throttle and low EGT indicates fuel starvation - or did the last data package indicate a normal shutdown ? they are not saying . the announcement uses the words 'we suspect' so nothing is confirmed . raises the question - why release un-confirmed info . obfuscation at its finest . this must be hell for the families but unfortunately this whole affair is starting to stink .

bingo. there is much more data RR has that they haven't shared. And people, when trying to figure out the range, you need to remember to convert to nautical miles from miles, and use speed in knots and not miles per hour. Also have to take in to account their groundspeed and not just the filed cruise speed. Also need to know what altitude they were flying at during those 4 hours, and also I haven't found one source that shows exactly the takeoff gross weight or the fuel they loaded on board.
