Aircraft Performance Analysts would have crunched the numbers for all kinds of configurations and plotted these on a map but what is not clear is whether the aircraft went in from fuel exhaustion or was deliberately ditched as in a suicide for whatever reason. They would even factor in the Grid Point Winds for altitudes at 2000, 5000, 7000, 10000FT, FL125, FL150 all the way up to FL420.

All this stuff will be published and released by the ATSB in the future.

Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, leading the search, told a news conference an oil slick had been found within the current search zone of the southern Indian Ocean.

Speaking at a press conference in Perth, he said: "We haven't had a single detection in six days so I guess it's time to go underwater."

Mr Houston cautioned that the use of unmanned submarine, Bluefin-21, should not raise hopes that debris from the aircraft will be found.

"Again, I emphasise that this will be a slow process," he said.

He said two litres of oil were found by Australian vessel Ocean Shield in the area where four "pings" possibly from a black box recorder were detected last week.

The oil is being examined to see if it is aviation fuel, but that process could take several days.

The slick was found 5,500 metres from where the possible signals were detected.

Eleven military aircraft, one civil aircraft and 15 ships are scouring an area of more than 18,400 square miles (47,600 square km) in today's search.

The centre of the search zone is around 1,400 miles (2,200km) northwest of Perth on the western coast of Australia.

Ocean Shield will stop using its Towed Pinger Locator to try to locate the Boeing 777’s black boxes later today.

The submarine will then be deployed from the vessel.

Each of its missions will take 24 hours and the first will cover an area 5km by 8km, Mr Houston said.

The US-manufactured submarine, a 16.2ft (4.93m) long sonar device, can operate at a depth of up to 14,700ft (4,500m), roughly the depth of the ocean floor where the "pings" were detected.

There are fears the plane's black boxes have now stopped transmitting signals, as the batteries last around a month and the plane disappeared more than five weeks ago.

Bad weather is expected to hit the search area this week, making the search more difficult.

The jet, which was carrying 239 people, vanished while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8.

That's because there has been a lot of nonsense from the media such as the above report just like there is a lot more nonsense from you. I have seen the press conference from Angus Houston, whom I have met a few times and respect very much, who clearly stated that there is an oil slick and they have collected 2L for analysis and testing.

Vlaka!

Reh ILITHIE read your own reply (copied below) on my copy-pasting from GIG's link. What's GIG's link got to do with my English?
Where was your link on the first place? hmm... nowhere?

You're so dumb!

They clearly stated they had found an oil slick and had picked up a 2 liter sample for testing and analysis.

They never said anything less or beyond this.

Vlaka! Learn some English!

If the "oil" sleek discovered is for real and not a phantom one like everything else so far, it is more than likely an oil tanker cleaned out its tanks in the open seas. A very common practice.

It can hardly be a Jet fuel, since any leftover jet fuel on MH370 would have evaporated from the ocean surface in the last month or so in the Southern Indian Ocean's heat, assuming there even be a sleek to speak of from the little fuel the MH370 had left aboard. Further more, where there is an oil sleek, there should be broken plane parts floating on the water at the same vicinity, so where is the debris from MH370? I don't think there would be that much engine oil or Hydraulic fluid on the Boeing 777 to create such a sleek from the depths of 4500m.

They clearly stated that they detected an oil slick and if you check Marine Traffic you will see that the nearest ships are thousands of kms away. The only ships in the area are ADV Ocean Shield and HMS Echo.

They also said that the slick was down sea from the pings and that they will analyze a sample to ascertain its origins.

But if it's only a very small oil sleek, it could have come from any one of the many search ships in the area when the auto pumps pump out their bilges.

And you are ann Aircraft Performance Analyst?

The black box pingers story was necessary to conclude the matter at this precise ending with just circumstantial evidence.
In the next few days they will confirm those oils were from an "aircraft" without knowing which type of aircraft
The next step is to add more such circumstantial evidence and they will do that slowly so that the masses digest it.
I wonder what will be the next one....

They will find some dead fish and say there was cod and chips being prepared for the aircraft meals.

I don't know how they can make such a claim with a straight face that the so called oil sleek is jet fuel when there are no aircraft parts floating in the same vicinity, but I'm afraid they will do as you have suggested to complete the whole MH370 saga with everything based on phantom evidence.

[Pyrpolizer]

I really pity them. Seems they never heard the seas are full of garbage. After those 23m garbage, they are now collecting oil silks!

It's not the first oil slick detected as part of the search. An earlier find was determined to be fuel oil from a freighter.

What's also questionable is why they did not make so much fuss the previous time they found similar sliks?
Unless someone told them "hey don't miss ANY circumstantial evidence again. We need all you can find to feed the masses until they digest it".

They might now throw one or two aircraft seat cushions into the sea in the vicinity of the so-called oil sleek to make the claim that they have found parts of the missing aircraft, and then claim that all the dead bodies has been eaten by the sharks, as to the reason why there are no bodies floating anywhere.
