| Jun 19, 2014 at 4:43 | comment | added | user2357 | If the BOF chart shows constantly increasing velocity towards the satellite, then the track distance should also reflect that. The problem is not my interpretation. The aircraft could not have flown the track suggested and give the offset frequency values reported. One or other is a lie and the lie is the official accident report's track which is a mere speculation. | |
| May 17, 2014 at 8:30 | comment | added | Mark | The "frequency offset" is a Doppler-effect-derived value. It's related to the speed of the aircraft towards/away from the satellite, not its distance; the rising line is consistent with an aircraft slowly turning away from the satellite. (It's also consistent with the aircraft performing a number of more improbable maneuvers, which is why the chart is simply the most likely track.) | |
