Perhaps a few readers may be interested in the following table of data that can be derived from BEA's Update. The times are generally those given at the beginning of the paragraph of the Update, except that 2:11:06 is 15 seconds later. The last line shows (for 'experts' only) the total energy, expressed as a flight level. The speeds at FL0 assume no wind.
P.S.: ChristiaanJ - well said. Imho BEA has released more information than could reasonably be expected at this very early stage of data analysis.
