(2) MH370:
Implications of the Kuda Huvadhoo sightings in the Maldives
- by Peter Myers, Feb
6, 2019
To discredit the Kuda Huvadhoo sightings, sceptics said that
the witnesses had seen a Dash 8, not MH370. They claimed that this small plane,
DQA149, landed at 6.33am at Thimarafushi Airport, on Thaa Atoll, 50km
south-southeast of Kuda Huvadhoo.
To refute this claim, Blaine Gibson obtained the Arrival
& Departure Boards for Male airport on March 8, 2014.
He was just trying to show that such a small plane was not
scheduled to leave from Male airport. He made no statement that MH370 might have
landed at Male.
But the Boards show that there were no scheduled flights
there in the early hours. MH370 could have landed there without being seen,
especially if it stayed at the northern end of the runway.
Witnesses at Kuda Huvadhoo said that MH370 approached from
the north-west, about 6.15am Maldives time. this is 9.15am Malaysia time, so for
the sightings to be authentic, MH370 must have landed somewhere; and refueled.
Only Male (Velana) and Maamigili (Villa) have big enough runways to take a
777.
That may not have occurred to Blaine; he did not say. I have
been arguing since Feb 2017 that MH370 would have landed there (or
Maamigili).
Male International Airport is also called Velana
International Airport; it has a 3000m runway, and routinely takes Boeing
777s.
Maamigili is about 108km to the west of Male. Its airport is
called Villa International Airport. The runway is 1800m, just sufficient for a
777; Leeds airport (LBA) is 1800m, and takes 777s. Maamigili is a quieter
airport than Male, but the runway is
less secluded from domestic buildings.

The Departures board at Male (Velana International Airport)
for March 8, 2014, supplied by Blaine Gibson, is at http://mailstar.net/Male-DP-140308.JPG
There were no scheduled Departures between 2.50am and 6am.
There were no scheduled Arrivals between 11.05pm and 6.50am. MH370 could have
landed about 3.20am Maldives time, and taken off by 5.45am.
That whole time was dark. The moon was at First Quarter.
Sunrise was at 6.14am (see https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/maldives/male);
first light about 5.35am. At Male, residential areas are a long way from the
northern end of the runway.
To familiarise yourself with Male airport (Velana
InternationalAirport), study the Google Map:
Here is a youtube of a High Power Take off of an Emirates
777-300er from Male International Airport:

The Emirates Boeing 777 first taxis from the Terminal to the
South end of the island; then reverses around, at which point you can see the
city of Male on the Left; it's on another island.
Then it takes off towards the North. As the plane lifts off
the ground, you see the Terminal on the left (ie West).
The runway at Male runs north-south. MH370 would have landed
from the south, and stayed at the northern end of the runway, instead of taxiing
to the terminal near the southern end. It would have been refueled, and cargo
& passengers of interest been
transferred to another plane, or a boat, or both.
Those other craft would then have gone to Diego Garcia, where
they would not have aroused suspicion. Then MH370, flying as a drone, would have
headed towards Diego Garcia, but, I believe, not have landed there, because it
would have been daylight, and thus too risky. Instead, it would have been dumped
between Diego Garcia and Mauritius.
The closest debris find, on Rodrigues Island, fits that.
This area is outside the circle of 634
runways that MH370 could reach without refueling, so no-one would have been
looking there. Also, it's very remote.
