Assuming cruising at 488 kts, and the first part of the flight path being DCT PIBOS R208 IKUKO M076F290 R208 IGARI M765 BITOD, it's possible to string together the following:
Leaves KL, makes it to IGARI, makes the turn from R208 onto M765. That would be consistent with the bearing of 26 degrees seen on Flightaware (
Flight Track Log ? MAS370 ? 08-Mar-2014 ? WMKK / KUL - ZBAA / PEK ? FlightAware) to IKUKO, a slight left to 17 degrees then a right turn *of* 40 degrees to 59 degrees when moving from R208 onto M765. Assume an 'event' happens at this point, the a/c is at FL350. Looking at previous threads on this forum, 100nm seems feasible for a 777 to glide (
