Four aircraft were tasked by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority to focus on a 23,000 square kilometre area about 2500 kilometres southwest of Perth.
The search planes set set off from Perth at 4am local time (7am AEDT) and it is expected they will take four hours to reach the search area.

The distance from Pearce to the crash site is about the same as a flight from Perth to Darwin. That is a lot of travel time each day. I think off the coast of Perth makes it is close to Perth, when it really isn't.
