Hence, the "Acrobatics" of someone trying to gain control of the plane?
Just another theory.

I was an aircraft mechanic and pilot for years and to remote control a plane would require extensive electrical and mechanical refits etc. etc. It would be a stretch to think anyone would even want to have it done...unless it was for a very important reason. |

Cirrus's SR20 is a low-wing four-seat composite airplane best known for its incorporation of an airframe parachute, which, in the event of a midair collision or other disaster, can float the plane and its passengers down for a 1,500 fpm landing on the ground. The plane was introduced in 1999, and within a few years Cirrus Design was selling more four-seat piston-powered airplanes than anyone but Cessna. The Cirrus is remarkable for its cruise speed of 150-155 knots on 11 gallons per hour of fuel through its six-cylinder 200hp fuel-injected Continental engine. The SR20 sells for about $280,000 nicely equipped (Avidyne glass cockpit, dual Garmins, autopilot with flight director, satellite weather, EMax engine monitor; no terrain warning, no traffic warning, no Stormscope, no CMax). |

Company: Security Planning Corporation
also served as Comptroller of Pentagon
System Planning Corproation's Command Transmitter Systems (CTS) provide remote control and flight termination functions through a fully-redundant self-contained solid-state system.
Exciter
The exciter incorporates state-of-the-art Direct-Digital-Synthesis technology to simultaneously generate an RF carrier and up to 6 of 20 available standard IRIG-B tones. It has 20 watts of output power and an internal ferrite isolator. The exciter may also be used as a standalone unit.
High-Power Amplifier
The high-power amplifier (HPA) is solid-state, dependable, and cool running, allowing continuous 1-kW output power at temperatures from 0o to 50oC, and from sea level to 30,000 feet AMSL. The Command Transmitter System is MIL-STD-461C qualified and designed to military standards for high MTBF and continuous 24-hour-per-day operation.
State-of-the-art CMOS micro-controllers provide full fault detection and reporting. High-power ferrite isolators allow full-power operation with antenna VSWRs up to 2:1. The HPA is designed for graceful degradation, which allows high-output power operation even with several amplifier modules inoperative. As an optional feature, each HPA sub-system is provided with an RF switch matrix that allows real-time replacement of HPA units.
External modulation inputs may be used to modulate the transmitters with externally-generated tones from 10 Hz to 100 kHz.
The system can be switched automatically or manually between transmitters. Automatic switching to the redudant system is completed in less than 5ms upon detection of an internal fault or at preset RF power thresholds. The system is mounted in two standard 60"-high racks for easy installation in mobile platforms. The roller-bearing, tiltable rack slides allow easy access within the chassis for low MTTR. CTS generally ships with front panel button operation for broadcast frequency and tones. Add-on options are available from SPC for remote control features. For more information on an integrated control system, see SPC's Flight Termination System Download a CTS brochure.

Sure...and most people don't have the budget that the U.S. Air Force has.
That's the point.. the US air force has that budget.

Here, this is safely public...
Remote control technology for commercial aircraft is fairly common. However, one particular company stands out in this area and is noteworthy for one of its executives, Dov Zakeim. Independent journalist Cheryl Seal, writing in New Zealand’s, Scoop Media:
The plane was remotely controlled by a command transmitter system, at least in the final minutes. There was an explosive device on board, which was detonated immediately before impact, probably remotely controlled as well. The timing, trajectory, etc, may have been generated by a software program of some sort that could work this out to the millisecond…
[So] Here is a description of an advanced, “fully mobile” CTS built by System Planning Corp., [a key executive] of which is Bush’s undersecretary of defense and long time Texas pal Dov Zakheim.
A quick trip to the SPC website confirmed that the company is engaged in projects including Homeland Security, Intelligence and Advanced Concepts, Advanced Technology, Signatures and Electronic Warfare Technology, Radar Physics, Counterterrorism, Emergency Management, Biowarfare, and Communications Networks.
SPC also plays a key role in planning an executing wargame exercises.
When it comes to remote control technology for the piloting of commercial aircraft, SPC offered the appropriately named,
Flight Termination System
…a fully redundant turnkey range of safety and test system for remote control and flight termination of airborne test vehicles.
…the system is fully programmable and is flexible enough to meet the changing and challenging requirements of today’s, modern test ranges.
The system can be configured to operate as a single local site or with up to eight remote sights over an extended range. Each CTS unit may be controlled locally (manually), or as part of the larger FTS system. |

Don't forget those satalites have lazar beams and can zip when given the signal, which could easily foul up that small planes course. |
