Captain Simon Hardy, who has more than 17-years experience flying the Asian air routes, has developed a detailed mathematical and geometric calculation which indicates where the doomed Boeing 777 came down last March with 279 passengers and crew on board as it flew from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Australia resumed its deep-sea search last week based on the location identified 11-months-ago by the Boeing 777 captain as MH370's final resting place.
His intricate calculations put the co-ordinates as S39 22' 46" E087 6' 20" - which is between the bottom of South Africa and the southern tip of the Australian mainland where Melbourne is and east south east of Île Amsterdam, a French island in the southern Indian Ocean.
The location is just outside the initial search area of 60,000 sq km which was then widened in April to 120,000 sq km - and is at the extreme edge of MH370's range, taking into account its fuel, passenger and cargo load.
