This page contains an extract from MH370/01/15 Factual Information which accompanied the (first) Interim Statement released by The Malaysian ICAO Annex 13 Safety Investigation Team for MH370 on 8th March 2015.
SECTION 1.12 - WRECKAGE AND IMPACT INFORMATION
The aircraft’s flight path was estimated using complex analyses of the satellite data and aircraft performance. The last recorded position was determined to be in the south-eastern Indian Ocean, far from land. Since there is no land within fuel plus gliding distance of the last recorded position, the aircraft most likely ditched or impacted the sea in the south-eastern Indian Ocean.
