A word of caution: ADS-B data can be incredibly useful, but to speculate on a cause at this point would be conjecture. The Flight data recorder and Cockpit voice recorder will play an important role in the investigation, as always. #JT610

Why doesn’t speed start at zero? It must, by the laws of physics. Airspeed Data as presented seems erroneous.

Hi James, this data is ground speed data and begins +0 as the tracking is coupled to position reports. Airspeed data for this flight was not received.
