MH370 search: 'Rogue pilot' theory still on Australian investigators' radar

The search for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane continues to be governed by the theory there was no control input in use for the last portion of the flight. The Australian authority in charge of the search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 says the “ghost flight theory” continues to guide its investigations. The clarification comes amid reports the theory that a rogue pilot deliberately brought down the plane could be revived. The hypothesis governing the search is that, after it had turned off course and travelled across the Malaysian peninsula, MH370 became a “ghost flight”, travelling on autopilot and crashing when its fuel ran out. The search will conclude at some point in June, depending on progress between now and then, and external factors such as weather. <br/>
