Malaysia will release on July 30 a long-awaited report into the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, according to the Minister of Transport.

In May, Malaysia called off a privately-funded underwater search for the aircraft, which became one of the world's greatest aviation mysteries when it vanished with 239 aboard en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur on March 8, 2014.

The investigation team would brief families of those aboard on the report at the transport ministry on July 30, said the minister, Anthony Loke.

"Every word recorded by the investigation team will be tabled in this report," he told reporters, adding that a news conference would follow the closed-door briefing.

"We are committed to the transparency of this report," Mr Loke added.

"It will be tabled fully, without any editing, additions, or redactions."

The report will be put online, with hard copies distributed to families and accredited media, among others, Mr Loke said.

"The whole international community will have access to the report."

The data behind the MH370 search

The data gathered during the Australian Government-led search for flight MH370 in the southern Indian Ocean.

Voice 370, a group representing the relatives, has previously urged the Malaysian government for a review of the flight, including "any possible falsification or elimination of records related to MH370 and its maintenance".

The only confirmed traces of the Boeing 777 aircraft have been three wing fragments washed up on Indian Ocean coasts.

The search Malaysia called off on May 29, by US-based firm Ocean Infinity, covered 112,000 square kilometres in the southern Indian Ocean within three months, ending with no significant new findings.

It was the second major search after Australia, China and Malaysia ended a fruitless $200 million search across an area of 120,000 square kilometres last year.

Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has said Malaysia would consider resuming the search if new clues came to light.

Hmm...interesting perhaps P7 could work out the odds on whether the FR will be a work of little known facts or a complete fairytale - just saying??   
  
Also of interest on the MH370 front..   
 

NEW MH370 STUDY SUGGESTS IT’S FURTHER NORTH

MH370 -could it be further north?

A new study by MH370 Independent Group (IG) member Richard Godfrey has completed a new drift analysis that asks could have MH370 crashed further north than was previously searched.
The location would be off Exmouth, Western Australia and the drift analysis supports the article in Airlineratings.com on June 10.

On the website, Radiant Physics IG lead Victor Iannello says that Mr. Godfey has concluded: “that the recovered aircraft debris from the beaches of East Africa could have originated from potential impact sites as far north as 20.5°S latitude.”

“He is recommending that a new subsea search cover the part of the 7th arc between 25°S and 20°S latitudes based on his new drift analysis,” says Mr. Iannello.

“As further justification for a new search to the north, he also cites the reconstructed flight path over Cocos Island ending at 22°S that we [IG] discussed in the previous post.”

Mr. Iannello says “the new drift analysis highlights the timing and location of the discovery of four parts that were found with barnacles still attached.”

Drift analysis was done by Mr Godfrey

“These pieces are particularly important because the presence of marine life on a part suggests that the timing of the discovery was close in time to the arrival of the part.  Any marine life that is attached to a beached part either falls off or is picked off due to decomposition and scavenging, so the presence of barnacles is a good indicator that the part was recently beached.”
Mr. Iannello says that the four parts found with barnacles that were considered in the drift analysis were:

1. The flaperon found on Reunion Island after drifting about 508 days
   
2. The fragment of the engine cowling (“Roy”) found in Mossel Bay, South Africa, after drifting about 655 days
   
3. The fragment of the cabin divider found on Rodrigues after drifting about 753 days
   
4. The outboard flap found in Pemba, Tanzania, after drifting about 835 days

The drift analysis put together by Mr. Godfrey uses the database of buoy positions that are tracked as part of the Global Drift Program (GDP).

“The data sets from 96 buoys were used to build a model of the Indian Ocean with a spatial resolution of 1° of latitude and longitude, and 1 day of temporal resolution. Both drogued and undrogued buoys were considered,“ says Mr Iannello.

I gather this AM's extraordinary revelations (above) from the self-appointed Wannabe aviation expert GT (vomit -   ), nearly caused Chillit to choke on his Nutri-Grain :

#MH370 Amused by the GROUNDBREAKING analysis out of #IG two YEARS after the crash area was published by Daniel, Durgadoo, Trinanes. Just wait until someone tells them the plane’s location can be triangulated. Wow!! If they start working on #ARASanJuan now, results by 2030?
