This suggests that the investigation of the BEA is turning more to Air France, its procedures and its crew. The study by the summer of 2009 trajectories of the devices on the zone, had already floated this question: Why AF 447 he continued his journey on a straight path, while other flights, including several of Air France had an avoidance, that is to say, have overcome the danger? This trajectory looks like a pilot error or appreciation can be explained by several hypotheses: an insufficient number in the cockpit, a problem of radar or carrying enough fuel to get around the area. Once the aircraft in the area of cumulonimbus clouds, it is whether the crew was trained to cope with this difficult situation and whether the company procedures were adapted. All these elements will be determined through an analysis of the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR), the second black box, which identifies human factors and hence the errors.
