Malaysian summary of possible MH370 debris

ICAO Annex 13 Team · updated 2017

Open in cross-ref

Itemised list of wreckage recovered on western Indian Ocean coasts, with confirmation classes: confirmed, almost certain, highly likely, likely.

The investigation team’s debris tables (publicly circulated in 2016–2017 updates) are the chain-of-custody spine for physical evidence. Item 1 is the Réunion right flaperon (confirmed). Later confirmed items include the Mauritius left outboard aft flap and the Tanzania right outboard flap. A larger set is classified almost certain or highly likely on the basis of Boeing 777 construction plus Malaysia Airlines stencil/maintenance features without unique serials. Independent finds (notably by Blaine Gibson) sit in this list or in later addenda. No wreckage has been recovered from Western Australia, contrary to some early drift-map intuition.
