I am sure there were issues with the initial searches, be they from the air or sea surface. As you are well aware, search grids have been posted in this forum, but whether the published grids were actually flown is another matter. Basically, the SAR phase was the responsibility of the Brazilian military, and showed a lack of precise direction and purpose, e.g. chasing rainbows.
