Koester, Robert J. and Greatbatch, Ian (2015) Missing aircraft crash sites and spatial relationships to the last radar fix. Aerospace Medicine And Human Performance, 87(2), pp. 114-121. ISSN (print) 2375-6314

Abstract

In most circumstances, the last radar position is an excellent predictor of the crash site. However, 5% of aircraft are found further than 45.4 nmi. The flight and environmental conditions were identified and placed into an algorithm to aid search planners in determining how factors should be prioritized.
