BEA - Update on search

Flight AF 447 on 1st june 2009
A330-203, registered F-GZCP

Update on sea searches on 7 April 2010


Since the sea searches began on 2 April:

o Orion, a towed sonar on board the « Anne Candies », has covered 600 km2;
o The three Remus autonomous underwater vehicles on board the « Seabed Worker » have made nine dives and covered an area of nearly 800 km2.

The meteorological situation in the zone has allowed the crews to work in good conditions.
