In other words: at 2:10, Flight AF 447 is not on the planned route in the flight plan ", as the BEA, but almost 3 Nm to the west of it.
Does anyone know if eurocockpit (or anyone else) has done this same analysis on the other waypoints reported? Unless they can show that
all other points are exactly on the flightplan line this final deviation may not be what they are claiming.
Question for pilots; I apologise in advance for not knowing this: when you set the AP to go from ORARO to TASIL, do you key in "TASIL" and the AP knows where it is, or do you dial in the coodinates of TASIL from the flightplan or memory?
