plane. explain how that works and how it would change the the workings of the plane. sure. as the aircraft burns fuel, the center of gravity changes on the airplane which changes the flight attitude of the airplane, so as the fuel burns and it starts to change the attitude, the auto pilot in efficiency mode is capable of understanding that and changing the air speed to make it more efficient and a better fuel consumption rate. if that s the case, then if it was on, i assume it was at this point, it would have gone much further and, again, contribute together idea that it went further south and southwest on the arc. it s interesting because we ve been talking and we ve been talking before we went on camera and you brought up the pact that the area where they are now going to be searching, isn t this the area that ntsb had suggested that the plane potentially could be from the jump? yeah, you know. it was just a few weeks after the start of the investigation that the ntsb came ou
1,100 to the northeast. the wall street journal said it was a lack of coordination between teams which lead to the search in the wrong area. to determine the plane s path, one team was calculating speed and fuel consumption rate. it says, another team, worked separately, using satellite data. it was after information from both teams was merged, that search shifted 700 miles away. a case study on how not to do an investigation. separate investigations of separate pieces, that may have cost us critical time in searching in perhaps the wrong area for the aircraft. u.s. investigations have been hampered by internal problems, after the flight 800 the
we have seen the communication problems that the malaysian government has had with the reporters and the public in trying to disseminate the information. now a new report saying that there was a problem coordinating the two, at least two investigative teams, in this investigation. the wall street journal today reporting it was a lack of coordination between the teams that actually led them to search that wrong area, presumably the wrong area, of the southern indian ocean. and that first initial big search. about 1,500 miles southwest of perth. the journalists citing people familiar with the matter saying that to determine the plane s path, one team was calculating the speed and the fuel consumption rate of the plane based on radar, and the plane s past performance. while another team worked separately, using pretty much just satellite data, and was only after the information from both those teams was merged, that they actually shifted the search area, 700 miles to the northeast, wh
