Summary[edit]

Description

Map of search areas for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 from the day of its disappearance through May 2014 and the planned search areas for the underwater phase of the search which began in the beginning of October 2014 and is planned to last up to one year (ending, of course, if the plane is found). (English version)
Not shown:

  • A Japanese satellite spotted 10 objects possibly related to Flight 370. No coordinates for these objects could be found online; therefore, they haven't been included in the map.
  • The bathymetric survey was completed 26 October 2014. However, the map released by the JACC showing the areas surveyed is in a different projection and can't readily be included in this map.
  • Flight path calculations between April & October aren't displayed because the only sources are in cylindrical projection (Google Earth).
