An independent analysis has confirmed search teams are looking in the right area of the southern Indian Ocean for MH370, a week after it was revealed that pings detected more than 2,000 kilometres off the coast of Perth were not from the missing Malaysia Airlines plane. A new specific underwater search zone of up to 60,000 square kilometres is now being determined after scientists reviewed original data and concluded that the search should still follow the original arc defined by British satellite company Inmarsat. :snip: By going back over the original data and satellite information collected by British company Inmarsat, searchers said they remained confident in a long flight path 'arc' over the southern Indian Ocean holding the key to the plane's location. The 'arc' is based on the seventh and final 'handshake' between the Boeing 777 and satellites on March 8. The ATSB said the independent analysis had confirmed the original arc is still the right place to search. 'At the time MH370 reached this arc...

So where is the flotsam? Those 350 seat cushions would never sink.

Those seat cushions had a good head start. A lot of time elapsed between when the airplane went in and when anybody had any reasoned idea of where it went in.

Researchers dropped ten pairs of satellite-tracked buoys into the South Indian Ocean. Each pair started off only 10m apart. "Within days, the buoys within each pair were already at least kilometers apart. Three months later and some of the pairs are now separated by thousands of kilometers."

Well they do have some idea where it is — along the 7th Inmarsat Arc in the Indian Ocean but that extends for 1000 miles.

MH370: Contractor to be given 300 day deadline to find missing Malaysian plane

Are Australian authorities going to dictate the area of search as well???

If so they may be wasting their time.

The schizophrenic search for MH370 continues:

Most likely crash site of missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 ‘is in stretch of Indian Ocean that is yet to be searched’

That’s funny....We’ll keep lookin’ ‘till we find ‘er! Or maybe we’ll find ‘er and just keep lookin’! That’ll learn ‘em all.

“They” know where it is.

[Uncle Chip]

They’re doing everything they can to pin this on the autopilot — or is that Otto the pilot???

From Mr. Ashton at JACC:

“By modelling a flight with a constant speed and a constant heading consistent with the plane being flown by autopilot – the team found one flight path that lined up with all its data.

“We can identify a path that matches exactly with all those frequency measurements and with the timing measurements and lands on the final arc at a particular location, which then gives us a sort of a hotspot area on the final arc where we believe the most likely area is.”

Otto the pilot better get himself a lawyer.

look for a 2hour special tonight

[Uncle Chip]

Do you have a link to that 2 hour special???
