MISSING MH370: Zahid: Data deleted from pilot's simulator
PUTRAJAYA: Investigators examining Malaysia Airlines (MAS) pilot captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah’s home-made flight simulator have found that several recent files in the machine, that could possibly provide better insight into the mysterious disappearance of flight MH370, had been deleted.

I notice an aircraft that appears like the missing Malaysian Boeing 777 parked in Gan International Airport Maldives - I don't think this can be the same missing aircraft as the airport but this aircraft is stationed there for the past two days - There is no indications of other aircrafts flying in and out of the airport according to flightraddar24. What do you think?

Latest update from Aviation Herald, it would appear that recent sightings where also false.
"On Mar 19th 2014 the Marshal told Malaysia's Authorities, that an intermittent signal of an airliner was picked up at 01:28L as it headed towards Kuala Lumpur from the South China Sea, turned right towards Butterworth (Malaysia) and was lost from radar. That signal was only detected after specific request by Malaysia, the signal was never observed within Thailand's airspace.
On Mar 19th 2014 Malaysia's Transport Minister said, Malaysia contacted the Maldives, the Air Force Chief of Maldives told Malaysia the reports of an aircraft sighting at the Maldives Islands are not true. Both corridors are of equal importance in the search operation, the southern corridor is much more challenging however. The logs of the captain's flight simulator have recently been "cleared". There were no findings of any significance with any of the passengers."

Satellite maps are NOT live. They are 1-3 years old in most cases.
There is a tower on Gan (with ATC and a FR24 receiver), so if the aircraft would have landed there we would know about it.
The aircraft on the picture is probably MegaMaldives B763 that has Gan as it's base.

With regards to the claimed Maldives sightings, I have a few random thoughts:
1) Someone mentioned there must be radar there that would have noticed, I agree and just tracking that exact time on this site there are quite a lot of small planes flying around there that are tracked, Twin Otters, and a lot of float planes that have altitude quotes of 600 feet. Obviously if they are tracked at 600 feet it would be difficult to be "below radar". That being said, with a lot of low flying traffic it makes you wonder if there are non-commercial float planes that aren't tracked - although still a 777 flying low would still be moving significantly faster.
2) Diego Garcia is not far and if you look at a Google maps satellite image of it there are a lot of VERY LARGE military planes that frequent there. It would probably not be out of the question that the Maldives sees a lot of low flying military jets that aren't tracked on this site. Also given the proximity to Maldives, you would think US military radar would have definitely spotted the plane.
3) If it were a plane problem where everyone perished it would be difficult to believe it would make it to the Maldives at a very low altitude. The fuel burn would be significant flying that low over so much ocean.
4) The residents claim they saw a "Jumbo Jet" - no one here would refer to a 777 overhead as a "Jumbo Jet" - usually that would be a 747 - or maybe an A380 these days. Or possibly an Antonov cargo jet. Maybe there that would be the case but there is 737 regular traffic there so a 777 from underneath wouldn't look much different except for scale...Last edited by smay69; 2014-03-19, 12:02.
