soph_co, the El Al flight was on a different track, In that BEA interactive, only AF459 is on the same INTOL-SALPU-ORARO-TASIL route as AF447.

This interactive graphic was discussed on this board after the second interim report came out, including speculation on why the BEA did not include the tracks of the IB and LH planes flying the same track as AF447.

There is some belief that the Lufthansa flight was the plane that the BEA references as being equipped with AMDAR, so a plot of its track and corresponding meteorological soundings would be interesting. And which may be why the precise LH track is not being released at this time. Similarly, the transcripts of communications between controllers at ATLANTICO and other planes on this route regarding weather conditions that night have yet to be released, although the communication between AF459 and ATLANTICO regarding the extent of its deviation is mentioned.
