Australian officials have confirmed data recovered from a home flight simulator owned by the Flight MH370 pilot shows ‘someone’ used it to plot a course to the southern Indian Ocean weeks before the plane vanished.
Reports of the discovery, that appears to indicate the captain practised crashing the plane, emerged in confidential police documents last week.
But while Australian authorities have now confirmed the data, they insist it doesn’t prove that captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah deliberately crashed the plane but the simulated route was similar to the one the plane took before vanishing
Officials admit that the likelihood of recovering the doomed plane is fading.
