Publisher Description
The story that unfolds in the pages that follow is not hypothetical. We show how satellite log entries Malaysia Airline’s MH370 can be altered by almost anyone. We show how it is done without access to the plane, the satellite, the ground station, or to the plane’s Honeywell SDU. And for those who engage in this kind of deception, there are is little risk of leaving fingerprints or witnesses.

If there was star lower than 1 then this book would get it. There is a brief collection of historical information, and an interesting collection of publicly available photos. However the mathematical treatment of BTOs and BFOs and their relationship to the position of Inmarsat 3F1 and MH370 is a complete nonsense. There is a brief statement illustrating the correct interpretation of BTO, but the authors fail to use it. They ignore the fact that the 3F1 satellite is in an inclined orbit, and hence the sub satellite position moves in ellipse on the surface of the earth over one sidereal day. They ignore the fact that this means that the distance between the Perth GES and the satellite is also varying minute by minute and must be taken into account in any BTO calculation.
And as for correlation between BTO and BFO. Words fail me. That is just plain rubbish. The BTO can be used as a measure of the distance between the satellite and the aircraft. The BFO is a measure of the relative velocities of the satellite and the aircraft, and it says nothing about position. The relative velocity might be positive, or negative, or even zero. The whole chapter in the book discussing Doppler demonstrates no understanding of the subject at all.
The imaginative yellow radial lines are just that - - a figment of someone's overactive imagination, and of no relevance to this issue at all.
In summary, a book worth less than the paper it is written on. And yes, I realise that it is an electronic book.
