From Con Son Island it flew back across Longitude 101.33E and just kept going.

My estimate is it flew 6hrs, 29 mins from Con Son Island at about 470kts to where it intercepted the datum line for pings at 00:19 UTC and then glided down to the sea. This should correlate to about 410nm east of Ile Amsterdam.

That is where I would use a sonar search and if not before the b/box quits pinging then that is the area roughly where it might be found some day.

To point out the bloody obvious they keep looking in the wrong place

- On April 3rd 2014, London bound Malaysian Airlines Flight MH004 was delayed 4 hours due to machanical problems with one of its engines.

- On March 27th 2014, Hongkong bound Malaysian Airlines Flight MH072 was delayed for almost 2 hours to make room for a plane swap as the original plane a Boeing 777-200ER had some sort of mechanical trouble(s).

- On March 24th 2014, South Korean bound Malaysian Airline Flight MH066, An Airbus A330-300, was diverted to Hongkong due to malfunctioning of an onboard power generator.

Precisely why the Malaysian Government is so incentivised to misdirect the search area for MH370, to blame hijackers, to blame pilots, to blame Boeing and anybody else they can think of.

In relation to MH066 which made an emergency landing on 24 March, were you aware that aircraft landed with only the APU working and all other generators unservicable.

Does the Malaysia Airlines MEL permit take off with only two generators?

How many more disasters does this airline need before it is banned from EU airspace?

That sounds like a normal week in a large airline operation...seriously. Absolutely nothing that you listed is out of the ordinary for a normal large operation.

Sy, would you mind sharing exactly how you derived the Inmarsat positions?
I'm sure those boys at Inmarsat would love to learn how to run their program.

Just for grins and giggles, how about you expound on your experience? Clearly you are an expert in these matters?
