[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2463647, member: 26737"] AFAIK, the flight data recorders (black boxes) can't be turned off. It was the ACARS digital datalink that was reported as having been shut down, and that would have no effect on the FDRs' pinging. From what I gather, the pinging is a literal acoustic ping emitted by the FDRs to aid in locating submerged black boxes. [/QUOTE]
