Debris Examination Items 9 and 15
Safety Investigation Report (2018) Appendix 1.12G
Summary
Item 9 - Left Wing Trailing Edge Panel
The item was found on 22 May 2016 in Macenta Peninsular, Mozambique. The item was brought back to Malaysia for identification and further examination by the Team.
The item matched the left part (outboard section) of the Upper Fixed Panel forward of the flaperon on the left wing. It was observed that the outboard side was fractured and on the inboard side the fastener holes were still visible with a pitch of 1 in. This fastener pitch matched that on the inboard side of the panel of the aircraft. The fasteners’ pitch on the outboard side is 2 in. The raised portion of the core of the section of the panel of length 18 in. also matched with that on the aircraft panel.
The item is confirmed to be the outboard section of the “Upper Fixed Panel forward of the flaperon” on the left wing. The debris is highly likely to be from MH370 (aircraft registered as 9M-MRO).
Item 15 - Right Wing Trailing Edge Panel
Item No. 15 was found on 06 June 2016 in Riake beach, Nosy Boraha Island, Madagascar.
The item was brought back to Malaysia for identification and further examination by the Team.
It was identified to be the outboard section of the “Upper Fixed Panel forward of the flaperon” on the right wing of a MAS B777 aircraft. The pitch of the fasteners’ holes on the right side (outboard) of the panel was measured to be 2 in. and that matched that on the debris. The debris is highly likely to be from MH370 (aircraft registered as 9M- MRO).
