Airbus Military is calling it a "first production flight". While that's not very clear, it was probably a first flight: handover from Production to Flight Test.

FDR

The Marseille prosecutor said yesterday that the condition of the FDR leaves open a "possibility" that the data is usable. It is now in the hands of the BEA for analysis.

Suicidal tendences were known

The German state prosecutor has said the FO was treated some years ago for suicidal tendencies. That was before he obtained his pilots licence (don't know which one)

First stated by President Hollande but also confirmed by other sources

According to the officials searching / investigating no part of the FDR has been found. I think they know better than Pressy Holly.

"the Boeing FBW aims to give "the same feel" as an FBH (Fly By Hydraulics)"
