Analysis of the FlightAware.com flight-following site by AINsafety has revealed that Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 on July 17 was between 150 and 300 nm farther north than some previous flights by the airline on the Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur route. AIN learned, however, that some of FlightAware.com’s data tracks over Ukraine were created using information estimates. The question still remains whether the jetliner would have been shot down had it adhered to a more southerly track. However, alternative site FlightRadar24.com does not reveal any such deviation from the usual course and appears to use actual ADS-B- and ATC-derived flight data.
