New search for MH370 greatly enhanced by breakthrough flight tracking results

The possibility of a new search for MH370 has been dramatically enhanced by the latest results from trials of a new breakthrough tracking technology called WSPRnet. There is no doubt that Mr Godfrey's work offers real hope of a significant breakthrough in the search for MH370 with a far more accurate picture of the flight route and last minutes of the flight which was lost on March 8, 2014, with 239 souls aboard. "While Inmarsat satellite tracking and drift modelling have identified an area about 1900km west of Perth, Western Australia the search area is still large and more accurate data is needed to commit to a search," Mr Godfrey said. "In my view, my work will not provide a"massive" amount of new data, but it will provide a significant breakthrough in the search for MH370. Currently, Mr. Godfrey is tracking a search and rescue flight organized by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority and conducted by the Royal New Zealand Air Force in the vicinity of the 7th Arc in the southern Indian Ocean during March 2014. "AMSA has kindly released to me under a confidentiality agreement all the operational planning data from their search and rescue flights. I am grateful to Duncan Bosworth ATSB for helping with the provision of the AMSA data." "The RNZAF has kindly released all the flight data for a flight on 28th March 2014 from Pearce Air Force Base near Perth to the search area near the 7th Arc between 32°S and 33°S. I am grateful for the help of Brian Anderson who obtained the RNZAF flight data under a Freedom Of Information request," Mr. Godfrey said.
