"This accident results from an airplane being taken out of its normal operating environment by a crew that had not understood the situation," said BEA director Jean-Paul Troadec.He added, however, that the same situation could have occurred with a different crew on board
The report also found that the A330's speed sensors, known as pitot tubes and designed by France's Thales , were only upgraded after the disaster, even though there had been previous incidents with the equipment.It urged a review of aircraft stall warning systems following criticism of the alarm's erratic behaviour when the plane was deep into its 38,000-foot plunge
Handout image released by the Brazilian Navy on June 9, 2009 shows a piece of the wreckage of the ill-fated Air Bus A330-200 being lift into a naval ship during search operations. Brazilian Air Force (FAB) helicopters arrived in the Fernando de Noronha archipelago on Tuesday carrying 16 bodies of victims of the
Air France flight A447, which crashed on June 1, 2009 in the Atlantic Ocean while carrying 228 people on their way from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. After undergoing initial procedures of identification in Fernando de Noronha, the first 16 bodies recovered will be transported to the search operations centre in the coastal city of Recife, some 740 miles southwest from the place where the current search missions are taking place.

French investigators have found and recovered the cockpit voice recorder from a 2009 Air France flight that plunged into the Atlantic Ocean, killing all 228 on board, the agency that probes air accidents said Tuesday. The machine that records cockpit conversations was located on Monday and raised from the ocean depths on Tuesday, a statement by the agency said. Investigators hope that the black box will help determine what caused the June 1, 2009 crash of Flight 447 from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to the French capital, Paris.
