The context of this note should be taken into account: the BEA was under pressure to anticipate their analysis of the newly recovered DFR/CVR, some results were leaked and Airbus was already claiming that the analysis of the recorded data had shown that the plane was not the problem. The BEA reacted strongly to this claim, making clear it is the only authorized entity to establish new facts about the AF 447 accident, that those leaked/unauthorized informations were not helping the families who had lost a relative, that it will soon release a first set of new facts derived from the recorders and an interim report by the end of july. A bone to gnaw, waiting for the main course.
