MH370 new search underway

[thebard3]

A new search is underway for MH370. New technologies and search methods being employed in an area expanded from previous searches.

Search resuming for Malaysia Airlines plane 11 years after it disappeared

The Malaysian government said it had given initial approval for the U.S.-based company Ocean Infinity to resume the search for MH370, which vanished in 2014 with 239 people on board.

Summary of current search attempt and questioning the continuing assumption that the transponder that was turned off and back on, was not tampered with.

Nah,

I'm not buying that. You can't tamper with the data from the plane because its based on a signal coming from the plane.

Now fair enough, if he managed to turn it off then why turn it back on, but I really don't think anyone at that time knew you could identify a planes position using the ping data from the inmarsat system.

Plus as he does say, there was debris found which places it more or less where they are looking in the middle of huge ocean.

The biggest unknown really is how a plane or this plane in particular responded when the engines started cutting out. Did it glide or change direction or just nosedive or circle or what?

My memory has long faded on this mystery, however there are two possible directions based upon SATCOM pings. Then there is the relatively small pieces of wreckage showing up consistent with ocean patterns on southern route. It is very odd that SATCOM was turned back on?

Quote: "11) SATCOM pings do not locate the aircraft but based on correlation to signal strength latency, satellite height, it is possible to draw arcs (of a circumference centered on the satellite with radius = distance from the satellite) where the last ping may have been located. The arcs identify a series of points at the same distance from the satellite and are located along two directions, the first is north from Andaman Sea to Turkmenistan; whereas the second is south, over the Indian Ocean from southwest Malaysia to southwest of Australia. The last primary radar reply came from a point that is coherent with the northern arc."

Weren't the northern arcs ruled out as that would have put the plane where it could have been observed by radar, or observed visually if flying low to avoid radar, or observed visually by other aircraft that might be in the area?

The southern arcs were in the middle of nowhere where there is no fixed radar coverage, and ships or other planes are infrequent.

My reference to nowhere is not a reference to Guardians of the Galaxy.

a longish video but claims that a separate analysis (timestamp 46:00) using other signals (weak signal propagation reporter (WSPR) correlates with the southern trajectory

I saw something a couple of years ago on those strange radio signals which had it more or less in the same place they are now searching.

Of course more or less could be 50km out there and you miss it.
