If the MH370 had Rolls Royce engines and their maintenance team was able to track them, then how come no one heard from Rolls Royce when the whole world is searching for the missing airliner?

The sensors are all attached via thermocouples to the “brain” of the engine, the brain box then pings the data via satellite to the control centre in England at Derby

The control room at Derby has senior engineer who at anyone time monitor between 8,000 and 10,000 engines 24/7 365

The data appears in graph form and any discrepancys are singled out and investigated

They have direct contact with pilot, airline, airport and RR teams at airport on the ground

The engineers work with the pilot to rectify any anolomys and in worst case provide back engines and spares if need within hours anywhere in the world

The data that is collected can be pulled up from data archive going back 10 years at the derby control centre but requesting historical data requires permission from higher up and takes longer

That way they can see specific trends in data for specific engines and anolomys might be just the way the engine performs

I know this because i know someone who works there and it took 2 years of application to get the job having spent 5 years in the Royal Navy with hands on engine maintenance

Most of the guys are ex-service men who have years of experience from helicopters and warships

Rolls Royce take apprentices at 16 all the way to 65 and then their children start at 16 and so on, there is 3 generations of same family there

There’s a reason why RR is the best it’s the culture within and trust me they are soooo serious about the job

Thanks for the reply.. which I then revert back to the original question. If location info is also transmitted (which I assume would be) then why can't RR assist with MH 370's possible crash location?

As always pointed out, there was no indication that MH370 had engine problems.

What more, these diagnostics are more for the benefit of group crews when turning a plane over, and would offer little help to an aircrew in flight of engine problems develop.

I am not even aware of there even being a mechanism in place to allow RR to inform the pilots if they spot something out of the ordinary with the engines in flight.

Is this sarcasm or is this a joke ?

Maybe RR does know where MH370 lies, if they can monitor the engines health via satellite if they do please tell.

ACARS is a service: airlines have to pay for it. According to the information available to date, it looks like Malaysia Airlines subscribed only to engine health monitoring that enabled MH370 to send data to Rolls Royce.

The ACARS was alleged to have been turned off.

The thing is the communication link should still be on. Otherwise the pilot wouldn't be able to turn the ACARS back on as part of a normal operation procedure as an example .
