No one has answered the question regarding the purported crew report of "fortes turbulances" (see posts 574 and 628 and underlying source material), and that it is not mentioned in the BEA report.
1. no manual crew report was issued
2. an automatic position report triggered by the FMGS was issued at 0200, which should include:
- from waypoint xxxx, time and FL
- current position (lat, lon), time and FL
- to waypoint yyyy, time and FL
- next waypoint zzzz, time and FL
- Wind (heading, speed)
- SAT (deg C)
- Icing (manual field?)
- Turbulences (manual field?)
- Airspeed (kts/mach)
- Ground speed (kts)
- Vertical speed (ft/mn)
- Heading
- Track angle
3. press reports are to be considered unreliable until cross-checked with official investigations sources.
A second question is if the report by the crew did happen at 2:00, why would the A/THR be on at 2:10:46??
1. no turbulences reported at 0200, or
2. turbulences automatically reported at 0200 but none at 0210...

Sorry, you were right, I wrongly noted 2C check at 6,000 hrs when it was actually 1C (beside, this document you linked doesn't give the answer for A330 but it may be infered from A320s checks). Thx
MROJunkie for the correct table.
