This happen i think we have a graphic of this information here. what the important thing that this keeps track of is the input of a control and the response of the control. what we're looking for there is any discrepancy between he tried to go forward or he tried to go back and it didn't move the control. that would indicate that there is a mechanical problem on board the aircraft. if they follow as expected if it's going exactly where it is then we start looking at external factors, whether it was weather, whether it was the pilot's decision-making or if the pilot made a decision based on wha...

Window panel from the fuselage. you could see it there, despite a search severely hampered by weather, they are moving forward here. search teams have now established a 2,000 square mile search zone where they'll focus their effort to find this plane. for more on the underwater search i want to bring in tim tea lar, sea operations and submersible specialist, president of tiburon sub systems. he rents rovs and auvs, types useful for a search for 8501. thank you for being here. i want to start first with the search zone because this is the new information this morning, they narrow hd to 2,000 sq...

Lot, david. they're towing the underwater pinger locator to comb the area. that's a huge advantage now. again shallower water. and this more focused search area. >> if you remember the underwater locator beacon that we talked about on mh370, because the water was much deeper we had to go with the side-scan sonar, it had to be drug way down in the bottom of the ocean. meaning there's a long cable, as long as five miles hanging behind that ship. in this case, we're only talking less than a mile. what that helps is when they do the search pattern going back and forth. don't have to wait to get al...
