- why BEA (and Air France, Airbus and ultimately the French Government) are hiding the whole CVR/FDR transcript? Why only this thin and very filtered information? What they are so affraid off? This is probably the most intriguing air disaster of the latest 50 years!
French was the language being used. Anything in English must have been translated. Translating anything is risky and aviation talk is full of jargon, acronyms, and technical comments....in this case, very probably seasoned with fear. They probably haven't had the CVR for long enough to prepare a certified translation.
