PARIS, Feb 5 (Reuters) - The search for the wreckage of Air France Flight 447, which was 228 dead in sinking down into the Atlantic on 1 June 2009, will resume in the coming weeks with an international team.
Three vessels specialized in research into shallows very uneven, ranging up to 8,000 meters deep, will be sent on an area of about 1,500 km2 located offshore Brazil, at least ten times larger than that explored in June, at we learned a judicial source.
"Our goal is that research start at the end of February, confirmed on Friday a spokesman for the Office of Investigations and Analysis (BEA), the French agency in charge of administrative investigation, which n has still not made any final conclusions on the causes of the disaster.
The tender is not finalized and the final device is not official yet, "she said.
This will be an operation almost unprecedented in the history of aviation, "very heavy and very complex to rise," said the spokesman.
A working group composed of international experts was formed in October. Air France and Airbus have a budget of ten million euros but it could be far exceeded.
A police officer will be integrated into the device to ensure that the parts that are found are placed under seal.
Two investigating judges in Paris, Sylvie and Yann Zimmermann Daurelle, are charged with a criminal investigation into the accident for "involuntary homicide and injuries".
NOT YET CONCLUSION
Associations of families of victims, which include 72 French, have instituted civil and say they fear that they hide the truth if it proves troublesome for the French aircraft.
They bring into question the independence of BEA and feel uninformed.
Until now, only pieces of the aircraft, including its tail, were rescued at sea, and about fifty bodies. The remains were stored in a research center in Toulouse.
The BEA said in its interim reports that these factors do not suggest the cause of the collapse of the device.
However, Air France was replaced after the accident probes measure pitot speed produced by the French group Thales at the request of the pilots' unions.
The latter believe that freezing at high altitude, the pitot probes can transmit false information to the computer system of the aircraft.
However, the court considers any conclusion impossible without the discovery of new elements, particularly the "black boxes" of AF447, the recording flight data and cockpit voice drivers.
"Without the black boxes, all conclusions on the probes remain in the literature," said a judicial source interviewed by Reuters.
