Hi,
Fuel ?
Prior to departure the Captain chose a flight path directly through the storm whereas the subsequent flights (Iberia and Lufthansa) took on extra fuel and significantly deviated.
Delta T,
if you have to deviate around a large storm system and by doing so you run short of fuel, then you make an en route stop for fuel. It's that simple. They could have stopped in the Canaries or Lisbon for fuel, but now they will never have the chance of taking fuel ever again. Please pay attention to the fact that other flights took extra fuel, deviated and arrived safely. Flying is serious business.
The BEA report:
The take-off weight was 232.8 t (for a MTOW of 233t), including 70.4 t of fuel.
Do you know the extra fuel quantity take on board by Iberia and Lufthansa ?
The AF447 flight had enough fuel for change his route.
Read also the two BEA preliminary reports.
Bodies recovered
This is contrary to decisions I thought were made weeks ago.
Those decisions were nullified by another .. one week ago when the results of ADN research on the two firsts bodies recovered were positive
Distress call
Where the pilots to busy to put out a call, or too confused?
You answered yourself ....
