Hi,
What would you have done after you receive the reports from the search planes and ship on June 1 that nothing was found near the LKP? Would you keep returning to that area day after day because you believe that's where it must be, or would you send your limited number of planes and ships searching in other areas?
As it was, it was a passing merchant ship sailing way north of the LKP that discovered the floating wreckage, and not the governments who were searching.
You neglect to keep in mind the ACARS and the first report of the BEA
Those are not pointing fingers to search long way from LKP
The inadequacy of the search on June 1 has already been discussed
And what was the result of those discussions .... ??
So ..
WHY BEA with this knowledge go make search far away from LKP ? (phase 2 and 3)
Even here in the first days of those knowledges .. informed people were convinced with .. or a deep stall or a spin ..
Do a airplane cover long distance in such situation ?
In all former catastrophes implying a stall or spin not recovered .. airplanes were discovered near the location of the upset.
