==== Pilot's flight simulator ====
In 2016, [[New York (magazine)|''New York'']] magazine wrote that a confidential document from the Malaysian police investigation showed an [[FBI|FBI analysis]] of the flight simulator's computer hard drive found a route on Captain Zaharie's home flight simulator that closely matched the projected flight over the Indian Ocean and that this evidence had been withheld from the publicly released investigative report.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Wise|first1=Jeff|title=Exclusive: MH370 Pilot Flew a Suicide Route on His Home Simulator Closely Matching Final Flight|url=https://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/07/mh370-pilot-flew-suicide-route-on-home-simulator.html|website=New York Magazine|publisher=New York Media|date=22 July 2016|access-date=22 July 2016|archive-date=23 July 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160723005940/http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/07/mh370-pilot-flew-suicide-route-on-home-simulator.html|url-status=live}}</ref> ''New York'' wrote as follows:
{{cquote|''New York'' has obtained a confidential document from the Malaysian police investigation into the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 that shows that the plane's captain, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, conducted a simulated flight deep into the remote southern Indian Ocean less than a month before the plane vanished under uncannily similar circumstances. The revelation, which Malaysia withheld from a lengthy public report on the investigation, is the strongest evidence yet that Zaharie made off with the plane in a [[Suicide by pilot|premeditated act of mass murder-suicide]].<p> [...] The newly unveiled documents [...] suggest Malaysian officials have suppressed at least one key piece of incriminating information. This is not entirely surprising: There is a history in aircraft investigations of national safety boards refusing to believe that their pilots could have intentionally crashed an aircraft full of passengers.</p>}}

The FBI's findings about the flight simulation were confirmed by the ATSB.<ref>{{cite web|title=MH370 pilot's flight simulator plotted course over southern Indian Ocean|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jul/28/mh370-pilot-flight-simulator-plot-course-southern-indian-ocean|last=Hunt|first=Elle|work=The Guardian|location=Sydney|date=28 July 2016|access-date=28 July 2016|url-access=registration|archive-date=28 July 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160728123158/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jul/28/mh370-pilot-flight-simulator-plot-course-southern-indian-ocean|url-status=live}}</ref> News of the simulation was also confirmed by the Malaysian government,<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/malaysia-confirms-flight-370-pilot-plotted-fatal-route/ |website=CBS News |title=Malaysia confirms Flight 370 pilot plotted fatal route |date=5 August 2016 |access-date=15 May 2018 |archive-date=15 May 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180515044258/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/malaysia-confirms-flight-370-pilot-plotted-fatal-route/ |url-status=live }}</ref> but reported as "nothing sinister".<ref name="ABCus_2014-04-02"/><ref name="BBC_2014-03-29"/>
