I don't think there is anything new in there, all said before and speculative. http://www.pprune.org/forums/showpos...&postcount=757

10º 44’S, 053º 31’ W
10º 12’ 5.42" S, 53º 33’ 17.05" W
TAS is not Ground Speed and cannot be taken to calculate a position in the range of a few inches (=seconds) :lol:.

When taken from the powerpoint presentation the coordinates had the usual layman's decimal point/degree error, i.e. they should be 10.44S 53.31W, which equals something like 10°26'S 53°18.6' and is almost exactly on the centerline.

Nothing cloudy.

Lawyer greetings.
