Thanks for alerting me to the error - which has been corrected. I had looked at the warning area and deducted 5NM of each side to allow for a buffer zone, and that's how the original figures came about.

The airway track is 028°T, and the Last Known Position was 2° 58.8'N, 30° 35.4'W (3NM west of track), which gives 338.2°T x 27.1NM to 3° 24'N 30° 45.5'W.

Sure hope they get lucky.
