Have there been any estimates made as to the range of times till fuel exhaustion in the IO? As in, would it have been daylight yet if it made it to the current search area?
I guess it must have been dawn or Daylight (looks like the sunrise was about 23:14 z the actual day at 25S 101 E ) last ping 00:11z if I remeber it Wright, and the partial 00:19z ?
