Early factual compilations: aircraft history, crew, cargo, ATC transcripts, radar, SATCOM. Released before debris and before the 2018 analysis chapters.

ICAO GADSS tracking standards

Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System · post-MH370

The regulatory aftershock: aircraft must report position at least every 15 minutes in normal flight, and more often in distress, so a 777 cannot again fly dark for six hours unnoticed.

US accident investigator. Reads the transponder drop at the FIR boundary, the southwest run to MEKAR, the northwest turn, and the 300-mile ocean leg as too many coincidences for a random failure. Preponderance, in his view: a deliberate act, high likelihood the captain.
