For Joe,
Update of the 2,794 Nautical Mile Cruise Range Limit from UPROB for TOD, compared to the end of the "Head for Canopus" Track.
As you can see, the distance from the center of the DSTG's PDF (based on the "Northern FMT near Ache) to the Range Limit based on my "Southern FMT" near UPROB, is about 630 Nautical Miles, further south west, along the arc.
I think the search should be extended to cover this area, because I am convinced that the "Northern FMT" is WRONG, and my "Southern FMT" is CORRECT.
I think that the DSTG should re-do their calculations from my Southern FMT, and produce a new PDF based on that analysis.
Alas, I can't see the ATSB commissioning / funding that, even though it would be a trivial exercise to just change the necessary inputs to their "already developed" computer models, and just let the thing "run overnight". There should be a new PDF map on the printer when they come in for work in the morning.
Too simple. So, obviously, they will not do it.
