Almost two years after Air France flight 447 plunged into the Atlantic Ocean, killing 228 people, black boxes of the aircraft, discovered early last month reveals actions drivers may cause the accident.
Data from the aircraft and voice recorder were found with the wreck of the aircraft to more than 13 000 feet below the ocean surface.
Flight 447 had taken off from the Brazil and was bound for Paris when, at 35 000 feet altitude and nearly four hours of flight, the plane apparently encountered heavy icing. Cherry caused a speed sensor malfunction, which meant that the on-board computers received defective speed readings and confusing.
With computers unable to process the information of speed creates confusion, the automatic pilot closed, leaving the jumbo jet suddenly in the hands of the cockpit crew.
ABC news has confirmed that, when the emergency began, the captain was out of the cockpit on a break. With probably sounding alarms, his teammates, may be confused, tried to diagnose the problem. A German newspaper reported Captain rushed toward the cockpit shouting of orders to his two co-pilots.
William Voss, President and CEO of the Flight Safety Foundation, told ABC News that the pilots could be diverted to deal with the emergency situation.
ABC News has learned the jumbo jet, an Airbus A330 was still flying, but apparently, drivers did not need to take the necessary to keep the jet in the air. They may have stolen too slowly, causing the aircraft to gain time and tumble out of the sky. The Wall Street Journal for the first time that the crew did not fail to fly the aircraft properly.
"In General, up to altitude, you have much extra room," Voss, "because the engines produce enough thrust to keep you y and you have a small enough margin for where the nose may be inclined to maintain altitude.".
Pilots had apparently not been trained to handle exactly this kind of emergency situation.
Voss said even though the aircraft get more complicated and automated, it is important to focus on simple emergency procedures and steps to let the technologies to interfere with the flight of an aircraft bases.
Airbus, Air France and the French researchers have refused to publicly comment on the information provided by the black boxes.
