Hello,

If only he had done what all the other pilots did and do!!
Do you no wonder why the BEA don't show the flight path of the IB 6024 and LH 507 in the animation ?http://www.bea.aero/en/enquetes/flight.af.....17.02.2010.pdfThose both flights were followed almost the same path that Flight AF447 (they fly in the big red aera)That seem's strange for me .... not for you ? pup.gifIt's for me .. like the BEA want point fingers to the pilots of AF447 ... pilots that will forever remain silentProvided the voice recorder will be discovered .. maybe they will talk a last time .. virtually.Regards.bye.gifGus.

It probably shows how to flight correctly a plane through convective weather against how not to. Too much truth sometimes hurt. Neither Air France nor Airbus can't stop the stench of fish smell on this disaster. It is biting them in their butts deeply. The more we learn, the more they sink.If what they're saying now about the fuel taken that night is true just to make the numbers in the FMS, that will be a big one on the trial.Cheers,MAB

Hello,Some latest news .....The (judiciary) investigation involves the maintenance on the flight AF447http://translate.google.be/translate?u=htt...l=&ie=UTF-8During this time the third phase of research comes slowly to an end .. and some good films about are on the BEA pages .. but nothing about any discoveries :( Regards.bye.gifGus.

We have seen them coming to these conclusions since day one. They rather live in speculations, rumors and theories that with the actual truth. Oh well, :( MAB

not quite yet, narrowed the search area though. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8664127.stm "The flight recorders from an Air France plane which crashed in the Atlantic last year have been located to within a 5km zone, a French official has said." Very misleading headline at news sites. best olli

It is unfortunately they had to notified the BEA. Now probably a shipment of scrap metal or maybe even radiative material will be dump by accident in the area sealing it for another 10000 years. Why they didn't seek help from American, British, German and Russian subs to scout the are with the French during the first month. It was just a mechanical ping sound for Christ sake. Not some sophisticated signal. If anything there was a good chance of triangulation.Oh well, lets wait and pray this time they can find something.Cheers,MAB

Hello,http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-05-2...d-update1-.htmlThat's a sad end of the third researches attempt.Honestly I'm not surprised they don't find the black boxes.But I'm surprised they don't find any substential elements of the plane .. who must not be the size of a shoes box.Or the BEA theory of sea impact like described is false and instead .. the plane was partially or completely desintegrated in air .. or they had search at the wrong places.With no more clues of what we have so far .. this must be the last one (wrong places) the most probable.So .. another search campaign must be set.

I thought the black box was the one that provided credential and vital information of how the aircraft broke up in mid air....Huh, guess that proved incorrect as they stopped the search. :(

The search was stopped because looking for a 3'x.5' box in the abyss of the ocean --with no beacon transmitting-- is futile. Or maybe you know that already and I misunderstood your post? Anyway, someone stated that already above...
