The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) is positive that Friday's good weather condition will aid in it's search of the two 'objects' detected by satellite in the Southern Indian Ocean.
General Manager of AMSA’s Emergency Response Division John Young said they have re-planned Friday's search efforts to be more visual with low flying aircrafts with highly trained pilots looking out for visual clues.
“Yesterday the conditions were not good due to poor visibility, the air crafts did a radar search and made no sightings,” he said in an updated video posted on AMSA’s official Youtube page.
“Today the forecast is better, there’s low clouds but it’s relatively clear underneath the clouds,” he said.
Currently, five air crafts have been deployed to find the ‘objects’ spotted by satellite imagery.
These aircrafts include three Royal Australian Airforce P3 aircrafts, a long range corporate jet and the U.S Navy’s P8 Poseidon.
John added that AMSA will end the day's operation by 10pm Australian Eastern Daylight Savings time.
Australian authorities believe that two objects – one as wide as 24 meters – picked up by satellites in the southern Indian Ocean were ‘credible enough’ clues to divert a full-scale search for Flight MH370 to the area.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) on Thursday, however, cautioned that a search for these objects at sea was a difficult task and could turn up negative, as shown in past experiences.
AMSA however was not giving up on the search.
“Tomorrow's plan is to do the same thing again, we will move the search according to where the water has moved overnight,” he explains.
AMSA will also be looking to see if they can get more sattelite imagery which would provide them with new or refined information.
“We remain focused on finding people alive, and that’s tomorrows game,” John said.
