one thing that still puzzles me.....AAIB say that 6 complete handshake were analyzed to plot the possible route after ACARS was disabled....So we "assume" that the 18:25 and 18:28 pings may have not been complete pings (????) Would that then make it difficult to accurately determine the doppler offset frequency if they were not complete pings??...One of these is the "possible turn" ping, so it could be even more important!
I still dont understand why anyone would release a statement saying 6 pings, then release a chart that shows 8?!!!
