The timing suggests three things:
1.) The PNF expected that the movements of the plane would have brought the captain back to the cockpit.
2.) The PNF had already called the captain but the BEA did not include that call in its sequence.
3.) The PNF thought he had called the captain, but had not.
Typical mistake.
1. the sentence is unfinished, "euh" at the end means that PFN missed the word and did not bother to complete it later.
2. "Where is
it... uh..."
He is looking at something that disapeared or that he did not found. And it could be a part of the
documentation if the captain left with it.
The clues:
a) he is calling the captain right after saying that..
b) when the captain came back, one of his first word is
"here it is, use that".
