Perhaps you din't notice this part from the briefing of the Malaysian PM.
"Using a type of analysis never before used in an investigation of this sort, they have been able to shed more light on MH370’s flight path."
Where the hell is the flight path?
Where are the data for the 6 of the 7 pings?
SATCOM sends pings to confirm their presence it does not confirm the position other than along a particular arc which is why they identified 2 arcs - the north corridor and the south corridor. The last ping placed the aircraft as being anywhere along this particular arc, the rest they can calculate based on how much fuel was on board and the Sector Winds which means they can calculate a probable Ground Speed and plot the most probable position where it ran out of fuel. Then it could have glided quite some distance, anywhere between 25 to 45 minutes in fact because it's Rate of Descent would be in the order of 600-800 feet per minute and the AP would adopt the best Glide Angle when it detects a Flame Out due fuel starvation. Also, the Satellite Images provided information or some confirmation that debris was located in the area.
Very early on in the piece, the Australians and Americans ruled out the northern corridor either because of Satellite Imagery of their own, which was reported some days afterwards, and also because they did not believe that MH370 could avoid Air Defence primary Radar Installations to the north.
Inmarsat will release their data tomorrow!
