PJ Thankyou, so we know that the aircraft had no thrust and/or stable (SATCOM aerial up) attitude after 02h 14
takata yes I followed that closely. My point, from the 'mapped positions' is:-
We cannot discount aircraft sections separating at altitude based on this drift theory (alone)?
In other words, even if (hypothetically only) the aircraft fuse separated into sections at FL350 or thereabouts, (or anywhere between FL350 and SL), what lateral dispersal could we expect on the surface (worse case)? 2,5,8 - 10nm?
Drift from those hypothetical (unknown) positions over days?
I am not saying a controlled descent was not possible, just pointing out that the dispersal does not definitively say one or the other!
The known wreckage, well that’s another story (previous post/s)!
