Bear with me please. The plot of the last reported position is connected to the previous reported position with a straight line. Is such a line from BEA?
Because that would mean they had determined the course between positions was straight. Fair enough, but what if the 3nm discrepancy West was a sharpish turn made in the last few miles before LRP? Do we know this? Also because I don't see how anyone would know the route, the points yes, but not the route. The originator of the straight course line has some explaining to do, whomever it was. Yes?? In other words, isn't the straight course line speculation? If not, and it is accurate, it means the crew started diverting at the previous course report.
