And to map out the debris field. we want a map of that debris field that then the search commanders can map it out, give the coordinates to the divers have the divers set up where they need to be so as soon as the weather clears get the divers and the rovs down there to look at it with their eyes to see what they have. whether its an aircraft wing or whether its the fuselage with the victims and the black boxes. those are the best assets for what were searching for, not a submarine. >> understoo...

Number of parameters for the air traffic controller. more than just the heading and altitude and air speed. also giving some gps guidance as well, or coordinates, as well so they are tracking that after the incident theyll pull the tapes and find out where the airplanes actually tracked until they have lost electrical power and the system goes inoperative. >> is that something that all planes have? >> not all planes but thats all commercial planes are now getting mode-s thats correct. >> all com...

Evidence? >> reporter: they are cautious about what they are expecting and as you put it there john this is a much more heavily traveled area both on the surface of the sea and also over air as well. there has to be just a lot better chance of finding this plane if it is where it is thought to be. if they are judging the search on the last known coordinates when it made that radio message about requesting a different flight plan to avoid bad weather, they are extrapolating from there. it is in s...
