Dozy, the Lufthansa preceding, and the Iberia and Air France following, on the same airway as AF447 that night 'saw' the Cbs and deviated, AF459 rather dramatically with its zig-zagging total of about 100 NM to the left and right of the track. Dispatch had sent AF447 a message regarding satellite observation of Cbs vicinity of ORARO and TASIL well before AF447 reached ORARO.

Until the full CVR is released, we won't know what the crew of AF447 saw (or failed to see) on their radar after ORARO.
