Apr 14 Search Areas

Vinnie Boombatz

The sonobuoy portion of today's search, roughly a square 25 km on a side, is centered at roughly 26 S, 101.5 E:

That appears to fall on the blue arc representing the 0011 UTC "last ping" in the first set of charts published by AAIB:

But it's well to the East of the other two arcs representing the 400 and 450 kt loci on the AAIB chart.

Today's sonobuoy search area is at/near where the Hai Xun 01 heard the pings on 05 April, and it's basically on the #7 arc.
The aerial search areas are on/near the Inmarsat 400 kt path (red) and one of the NTSB suggested paths. Overlay comparing the search areas: http://i.imgur.com/peWnXpJ.png
