All You Want To Know About AF447 Is Here
In the Tech Log, there is a common thread titled "AF447". It contains 17,657 posts contained in 11 sub-threads. The first post in each sub-thread gives links to the BEA Reports on AF447 as well as other informative links. Nearly everything anyone can think of, speculate about, imagine, or theorize is contained in the sub-threads. There are many informative graphs, charts, technical explanations, photos, drawings and A330-300 flight controls and emergency procedures. There are great explanatory posts by experienced pilots that flew A330's for years and experienced military pilots who were among the first to fly FBW aircraft.
For those who have not browsed this wealth of information, I would recommend you do so. One of the things you will discover is that more than 30 crews experienced UAS at high speeds and altitudes and all managed to survive their experiences, the exception to this being the crew of AF447. The crew of AF447 received the same training as many other AF crews and perhaps other airline crews. However that night, starting with the briefing in Rio, they managed to not apply the training they had recently received prior to this flight, did not apply SOPs or even mention key procedures to be followed upon experiencing UAS or utilize good cockpit resource management. It is all there in the reports and postings, check it out.
