Here is a map of the flight path between INTOL and TASIL. Waypoints coordinates have been taken from (
Waypoint INTOL Country BR). Last known position taken from BEA report (JUL-2009). And exptrapolations taken from the already often quoted weather path analysis (
Air France 447 - AFR447 - A detailed meteorological analysis - Satellite and weather data). Search area taken from the last vessel positions (user mm43). The slight variation of est. extrap. 02h 15m may be due to a slighty different TASIL I quoted in regard to the weathergraphics positions estimates.
The earliest ACARS has been sent at approx. 02h 09m.
