Instructor mitchell casada. aviation analyst miles o'brien and richard quest. martin, the map that the australians released last night says that the plane would have been traveling 400 knot as hour to get to the new search area. what does that tell us if anything about the altitude the plane was flying? >> reporter: well, we're still not clear on that particular one. for instance, 400 knots sounds like a lot of speed. but it's actually not as fast as what this aircraft would typically fly when it was cruising at 35,000 feet. for instance, right now we're doing 478 knots. so it was going slower...

I've looked at it for that night. basically it was an east to west cross wind. it would have blown the plane a little bit to the west but would have no appreciable difference on the range. so basically 400 knots is as fast as the aerodynamic frame is designed to go at 12,000 feet. why they are just now realizing this, we talked about this a week ago. i'm a little mystified. they have the radar data now. they've gotten their act together. they're sharing this information. a lot of this is sensitive stuff. but that's why we have a search now that is falling shorter than it was before. >> questio...

The next step would be to get it on the ground. you want to stabilize it, see where things are. but very quickly you with like to get to an airport. >> martin savidge, mitchell casada, thank you. no trace of flight 370. more than two weeks after it vanished. and families are running out of patience. we'll see how they're coping just ahead in a live report from beijing. so our business can be on at&t's network for $175 a month? yup. all 5 of you for $175. our clients need a lot of attention. there's unlimited talk and text. we're working deals all day. you get 10 gigabytes of data to share. w...

We can't see right now. all this week, cnn's martin savidge has been trying to give us perspective, reporting from inside a 777 flight simulator. he joins us again tonight with flight instructor mitchell casada. i understand this plane can fly 16 to 18 hours on a full tank, but it was heading to beijing and only had about seven hours of fuel. so could it have reached the area where this debris was found? >> reporter: that's the same question had. that's why early today we programmed everything that we knew of flight 370. seven-hour fuel load and we pointed it south. a number of factors we coul...

I hadn't thought about the fact that maybe one pilot knew and the other didn't. if the screens have the same information and you see it change course, our thanks to martin savidge and mitchell casada. were the pilots looking to land because there was an emergency on board? this is a very popular theory. that's been burning up the internet. it is on the internet. could it be true? we'll tell you what the evidence really shows right after this. was getting him to wellness. w, without angie's list, i don't know if we could have found all the services we needed for our riley. from contractors an...
