Thank you.

I'm afraid when I read the following, my appreciation of this effort diminished somewhat!
However, the position for the ATC fix is not stated with the same
accuracy, therefore it must be evaluated over a range of possible values to develop a
clearer picture. The range of values analyzed is listed below:
1. Range: nominal = 7nm; range 6.75nm to 7.25nm
So:

To be clear. The crew made a radio call saying they were at the 'zone boundary' and were going 'QSY'. This gentleman assumes they were accurate to within a quarter of a mile.

Wow!

If I had made the same call to within 2 or 3 miles, I'd be pretty happy!

It's all based on assumption, and information retrieved from a device that was never designed to provide historical data!

It's a simulation of a possible scenario, produced by the manufacturer of the vehicle that crashed! No more, no less.

Don't think we need to take any of it as 'factual'!
