A line here but a line closer and a line farther away. then a line farther away, then a line farther than that. as we get here, we are still close to this outer circle, the outer last ping where the plane could be on the northern arc or the southern arc so, we cant throw this away. what we see is that if the transponder is turned off and the secondary radar shoots a target, singapore 68, and whether mh 370 is above or below doesnt really matter. if its close enough, that secondary radar will onl...

They turn out over the water, once you get 200 to 300 miles offshore, there is no radar. airplanes are not typically under radar control once they are out 200 or 300 miles over the ocean. that radar starts jent generally within 200 or 300 miles of reaching land. at that point the land based radar picks up up. once you are out over the water there is no radar. typically any radar system is as good as the equipment, which many times in these countries equipment is not as sophisticated as it is in ...
