Pressemitteilung der französischen Untersuchungsbehörden vom 30. Juli 09:
Flight AF 447 on 1st June 2009
A 330 – 200, registered F-GZCP
The Ifremer oceanographic ship “Pourquoi pas?” is currently on site in the area for the second phase of the search for the flight recorders from AF 447. Work to survey the ocean floor has begun in the area considered to be the most likely, with the aid of a side-scan sonar device and the Victor 6000 ROV and Nautile submarine. The flight recorders’ locator beacons having now ceased transmitting, the next step is to identify the place where the airplane wreckage is located, then to search for the recorders.
The BEA recognizes Airbus’ commitment to participate financially in a continuation of the search if a third phase, over a wider area, appears to be necessary.
