Summary
Item 11 - Seat Back Trim Panel Encasing IFE Monitor
Item No. 11 was found on 06 June 2016 on Riake beach, Nosy Boraha Island, Madagascar.
The item was brought back to Malaysia for the identification and further examination by the Team.
The part was identified as the seat back trim panel which encases the In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) monitor. There was a small fragment of fabric around the coat hanger on the debris, which was greenish in colour. This colour matched the seat fabric used on the MAS B777 on the centre seats. The location of the coat hanger on the left conforms to the Right Hand, Triple Seat Assembly column in the Economy (EY) class.
This part is confirmed to be the seat back trim panel for encasing the IFE monitor and is highly likely to be from MH370 (aircraft registered as 9M-MRO).
