Not an expert, but wouldn’t it maintain its trim speed, and nose down to maintain it? My guess is that would result in a pretty good nose down attitude and resulting high negative vertical airspeed.
I personally loved the nonchalance with which the fellow company pilot remarked the normalcy behind banging FAs when on a trip lol. A truism indeed, but one most in the biz would probably preferred he had not remarked so openly while editorializing about the state of the marriage of the mh370 captain. Kinda like the number one rule of fight club.

I bet the wives see it as a big deal indeed.

Guessing that the Malaysians are only a few decades behind the US in that attitude. I say this because, years ago, I had an airline pilot boss who openly did the same thing.I personally loved the nonchalance with which the fellow company pilot remarked the normalcy behind banging FAs when on a trip lol.

well, requiring at least two pilots in the cockpit at all times would be a start but not probably not practical unless each flight has a cockpit crew of three which in itself is also not practical. even if while that may lower the odds it certainly would not lower the odds to zero.
I thought in ideal conditions with no crosswinds and if rigged to not roll to one side or the other, the plane would start by either overspeeding down in which case its wing lift would eventually overcome its tail down force and cause the nose to start coming up. Eventually it would slow down to where the wing lift would be overcome by the tail down force and it would then start nosing back down. In theory, it should oscillate like this for a while, all while descending. Depending on the altitude when the engine stopped I have no clue if it would ultimately damp the oscillations into a straight line best glide (descent) or would always be oscillating until it hits.
I think the digital dat recorders are capable of much more storage.
They are maybe 50 years behind us in that way. (Remember the book "Coffee, Tea, or Me?")
Explain.
Pretty sure there was a compromise between pilots and FAA (CAA)? NTSB? Will try to find it. Pilots didn’t want company or others to use any non-accident related conversations against them.
Same reason that a <$500 spotme device will report your position anywhere in the world to anyone who's interested but a multimillion dollar airliner would see that as a cost prohibitive measure.. on most modern jets the in-flight entertainment system is already talking to satellites as are the engines. I'll never understand why including the lat long in that pingback are not just obvious elements to log
I don't think you've got a good grasp of the cost of development, acquisition, and upkeep of the systems you insist are cheap and easy. For position reporting to be the solution you seem to want, it would have to be on every airplane's MEL - which increases the cost and risk of maintenance considerably. Are you willing to lose your flight because position reporting is down? If so, it seems short-sighted given the extremely low probability of an event that would benefit from it - at which point it's probably no good to you anyway, only your survivors. If not, then you already have the equivalent - it's inop, so you're going anyway.
