Does anyone know what RADAR DATA they are talking about? AFAIK, there was no radar tracking of this aircraft once it was well out into the Indian ocean. Could this newscast be referring to the INMARSAT PING doppler and range data? If so, they should have said so. If they did I missed it.
According to a source I read the other day the Malaysian military admitted that it tracked the plane from 1:19 at the point it diverted to 2:40 on its way to point IGREX when it may have then headed south.
They wouldn’t have any other radar — however the Indonesians might.
For what it’s worth:
The revised search sector — about the size of Norway — was “based on continuing analysis
of radar data between the South China Sea and the Strait of Malacca before radar contact was
lost (with MH370)”, AMSA said.
“It indicated that the aircraft was travelling faster than previously estimated, resulting
in increased fuel usage and reducing the possible distance the aircraft travelled south
into the Indian Ocean.”
