"This was based on the aircraft projection at that point of time and not the actual aircraft position," said MAS, adding that this information was carried in the MH370 Preliminary Report that was released on Friday.
The statement said when Kuala Lumpur Air Traffic Control Centre (KL-ATCC) Watch Supervisor queried Malaysia Airlines OPS (Operations) on the status of MH370, MAS OPS informed the latter that MH370 was still sighted over Cambodian airspace in the Flight-Following System, which is based on a flight-projection.
