A panel of international aviation and SAR experts from around the world will convene in Australia's National capital Canberra, this week, to go over all the previous information, calculations and assessments, to see if anything new can be added to it, and to try and further refine the current position of the aircraft.

Analysis of the MH370 Preliminary Report by an independent ATM consultant and an Engineering Fellow with Raytheon Company raises questions about the current search location, including:
The displayed initial estimated point seems somewhat inaccurate, as it implies that the aircraft performed a turn to the NW immediately after leaving radar coverage. On the basis of the presented information, it seems much more likely that the aircraft would have continued on its heading and that the initial satellite point should be located further south.
This would potentially have the effect of skewing the entire estimate satellite trajectory (and thus any impact point) by a number of miles.
