Timeline of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

 * Nominator(s): AHeneen (talk) 17:44, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

The article has been expanded/improved to meet the FL criteria. A copyedit request was made at the Guild of Copy Editors and has been finished. I've created several GAs, but this would be my first Featured content.

Although the search is ongoing, there has not been a lot of events associated with the search in recent months. Since November 2014, there has only been about 1-2 events per month (and a few of the events listed aren't very significant). Most of the events occurred between March-May 2014 and the start of the current phase in October 2014. I believe the list meets the stability criteria because it "does not change significantly from day to day".

The choice for the sections is basically a breakdown of the timeline by activity and roughly based on the phase of the search. AHeneen (talk) 17:44, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
 * March 2014: Search in Southeast Asia and events related to the initial investigation and reaction. The shift to the southern Indian Ocean occurs on 17 March and the rest of the month is aerial searches in a very remote region (refer to map).
 * April-May 2014: Although the aerial search continues, the focus during this time is the acoustic search and the sonar survey by Bluefin 21 which are both carried out from ships
 * June-September 2014: The period between the end of active searching (Bluefin 21 search ended 28 May) and the start of the next phase in October
 * October 2014-present: Current phase of the search (underwater phase)


 * Delegate note: as this list is approaching 2 months of age, it's likely to be closed soon as not promoted. Since it's your first FL nomination, and that's rather a shame, some tips- if your nomination isn't getting noticed, try reviewing other FLCs to build up goodwill, or asking around at wikiprojects for someone to review your list. You could also ask again if they're comfortable supporting; if this nomination fails and you renominate it's easy to carry forward old supports. -- Pres  N  04:32, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
