41/12 makes it ~ 3.5 hours per flight, right?
Strange eh? Assuming you cant fly 3700 km (~ 2300mls) in 3.5 hours with a 757 at 530 miles/hour top speed.

Now I know that you are guessing, and don't know what you're talking about. The route - Washington to Los Angeles - is assigned the number AA77. The plane - N644AA - is assigned to different routes on a regular basis. Here are photographs of N644AA taken in various places around the country, including pictures taken in 2001 in Miami and Boston. You cannot take the total flight time and divide it by the number of flights and get anything resembling a working number. Yes, the plane flew from DC to LA, which is a longer flight, and it flew shorter hops under different route numbers.

Was the airliner N644AA constantly assigned to the AA77 flight from Washington to LAX? (and back?) If so, the presented FDR is not from AA77.

No

If the N644AA (aka N5BPAA) was not constantly asigned to AA77 - you can't assume it to be doubtable, the cabin door has been closed over the average 3.5 hours per flight.

Not at all. The FDR says it was never opened at all. By your own numbers the DC-LA flight would be 4.3 hours, not including takeoff and landing, so it would likely be closer to five hours.

Are there any meals served for the pilots on a 3.5 hours flight?

Arguable either way, but meals are always served on coast-to-coast flights.

Are there meals served at all on such short hops?
|
Usually not.

Do you have to use the lav within 3.5 hours leaving the airport?

Some don't, but some do.

The FDR is off, as long as the engines are not running. The pilots enter the flight deck before starting the engines and they shut them down before leaving the flight deck.

True, but your whole argument consists on the door never being opened even once, which is possible but highly unlikely.

=> They open the cabin door, but the FDR doesn't read it. No beaming necessary.

The most likely answer is that reached by the investigators, that the sensor malfunctioned. It does happen, you know.
Here is a set of discussions that answer your "questions" in a much more logical and reasonable fashion than the answers you Truthers like to give. They include the leading Truthers misreading and misunderstanding things to the point of having no clue what they are on about.
