A report into missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 by the Australian safety investigator leading the search supports its view that the aircraft descended rapidly after running out of fuel with no human intervention, the agency said on Wednesday. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) report released on Wednesday said analysis of wing flap debris showed the aircraft was not configured for a landing. Report gives 'enhanced certainty'ATSB search director Peter Foley told media on Wednesday that analysis of a wing flap had "enhanced certainty" at what had happened. Authorities assume the plane had no "inputs" during its final descent, meaning there was no pilot or no conscious pilot. "It meant the pilot was not alert, awake or planning a safe landing — that's all it means," Middleton told Reuters.
