IGh;
Many thanks, - Though retired off the A340/A330, I still do some flight data analysis so am familiar with the distance calculations as we use them all the time to analyze our own trends. I was more thinking of how this information made it into the public realm without a coordinated news release. I consider it important only because a newspaper or an agency such as the Jamaican Authority can say anything it wishes and I was looking for the original sources of the information. I frankly have no reason to doubt the information, (but also have no reason to believe it), but until we know that this is from the recorders, we're only speculating. I know you're aware of all this...just responding with clarifications.
