UK AAIB and Inmarsat Arcs

I don't think the rest of us not having enough information to check the calculations is the fault of either Inmarsat or UK AAIB.
The published graphs are illogical and clearly misleading on their face.

I prefer to think that UK AAIB can do and is doing rather better than the pretty but grossly misleading graphs of spurious "elevation angles" that have been bandied about.

Same for investigators in Australia, the U.S. and even Malaysia itself - one certainly hopes and expects that their efforts are not based on pretty but largely meaningless graphs. There are lots of smart and competent Malaysians, but they have to live and hold on to jobs under a venal and opaque political system.
