MH370: The Forensic Evidence

Cox is explicit that he is giving an investigator’s preponderance, not a court finding. He walks the FIR-boundary timing: civilian secondary radar loses the aircraft as it should be handed to Ho Chi Minh, military primary then paints a reverse course that hugs later FIR lines before turning out over the Andaman and disappearing. He treats that as a person who understands both ATC and air-defence pictures. He supports Ocean Infinity-style expert-weighted boxes rather than a new physics of SATCOM. Commentators have noted he does not dwell on the Annex 13 simulator sessions that found the IGARI turn consistent with autopilot disconnect. File his conclusion as a senior-pilot reading of the radar, alongside the 2018 report’s refusal to name who made the manual inputs.
