Lets take that and go to martin savage with the flight instructor mitchell casado. you two have programmed the cockpit to fly over the indian ocean near this site of possible debris. could the plane have made it that far? >> that was the first test we did. we wanted to load the plane with the fuel they think they had. about seven hours worth and point it south. we showed earlier that this plane -- there is a lot of things we dont know, but this plane could easily have made it and had time to spa...

>> he said they can still retrieve the deleted material, but if the simulator was used a lot during that month, it could have smudged the footprint. >> well have more on the search for flight 370 straight ahead. and well take a look at how a big plane bike th-- like that boeing 777 might have flown for hours without being constantly tracked. ike -- like that boeing 777 might have flown for hours without being constantly tracked. ke -- like that boeing 777 might have flown for hours without being...

You and i were discussing this after the show last night. unbelievable. a couple of questions were going to try to answer for folks tonight. one person says, "what person is in charge of this search? someone has to oversee all the nations searching. weve been hearing about the fbi being asked to look at the simulator but not much more in the investigation". another person says from kevin "cnn, if we find out that the pilot was practicing short landings, what would be our next move? " thats a ver...

They just dont know. thats not information they utilize or is helpful to them specifically. >> and jeff, the fact that this pilot deleted information from his simulator, you can look at it with a nefarious interpretation of that or hes an organized guy. hes cleaning up his files. what do you make of it? >> we only have part of the information on that. in order to determine whether it was nefarious or not or benign we need to know the other part. that is were there other flights on that simulator...

Practice emergency procedures and routes and put all of these different airports on his simulator. what is more important than the simulator, will be the computer analysis and if they go and bring like home computers in. if somebody is bad in doing something, it is going to show on their computer. it is it no way to hide. if you do information search it is on their. >> simoutor come loaded with thousands of a strips. >> but which ones did he go to? that is some what telling? you can tell the dif...

All the flight data. so the attitude, altitude, air speed, all of that will go in and they can reconstruct that and depict that in a simulator in realtime. >> first, you have to find it. the air france crash, where they found the debris in two days, it took two years to find the jets, therefore the black boxes, as we call them. thats a long and tedious process. its important to remember how deep this is in this area. its said to be some 3,000 meters deep here. thats a very tall order. >> yes. an...

Focusing on. that the investigators that are there, they are trying to find the evidence to tell them what direction this is going. and again, you have to let the evidence lead the investigation and not the theory. >> keep the gravinngs on the screen. hard facts that we think we know. time over sen hour and 30 minute period. back to the simulator, johnathon. how long would it take the fbi to take them in a direction based on what they found. >> since it is a damaged computer it will not take as ...
