The search for the MH370 via its two origins BTO
Abstract
Since the MH370 disappearance with all 239 passengers and crews onboard on 8th March 2014, the authorities for search and rescue missions from various countries have tried to locate its final location. The 7th Arc, in the South Indian Ocean, has been identified as the official search corridor that the authorities put all their best efforts to locate it. This location is said to have been derived from the 7th Burst Timing Offset (BTO) ping ring signal that the MH370 had sent down close to the last BTO signal transmission for that day. The other type of signal that had been sent down by this airplane is Burst Frequency Offset (BFO). This work demonstrates that there is no shortfall with the MH370 BTO and BFO readings those its processors had sent down for archiving during its last unfortunate flight. The major gap preventing from getting the accurate location is that the readings have been viewed mostly as the random signals by the assigned BTO and BFO expert team. Better alternative, all the MH370 BTO readings should have been viewed as a dedicated airplane tracking model.
