With regard to
Lemurian's post #3301, I believe he has laid out the true circumstances of the aircraft's arrival at terra oceania. In the sense that the attitude was nearly level and the vertical rate of descent was high, the matter of direction of travel (or speed for that matter) was virtually irrelevant. Though, as
HazelNuts39 has reiterated, the BEA did modify its stance on the "en ligne de vol" in its preliminary Report No.2.
