This means that the most likely place where MH370 went down is approximately S23°4.24’ E102°27.58’, which is the only point to lie on both the 40° arc and the L894 flight path. Given the short time remaining in the pinger lifetime, it would be well worth searching around this location.
Nice work. Your assumption about the flight path taken, is very plausible as well, as it would be much more convenient to enter a set of waypoints to navigate by than use Heading Select mode (obviously). Your other assumptions also seem to all line up, so hopefully the team at JACC/AMSA are thinking on the same wavelength as you.
