Overview

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Air France Flight 447 was a scheduled airline flight from Rio de Janeiro-Galeao (GIG) to Paris-Roissy (CDG) involving an Airbus A330-200 aircraft that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on 1 June 2009, killing all 216 passengers and 12 aircrew. The investigation is still ongoing, and the cause of the crash has not yet been formally determined. Reports in May and July 2011 from the BEA stated that the aircraft crashed following an aerodynamic stall. Several minutes before the crash, the pitot tubes (speed sensors) started to give inconsistent readings, so the autopilot disconnected. The plane rolled slightly and the pilot flying pulled the nose back. The pilot repeatedly pulled back on the stick, producing a stall, continuing even while the stall warning sounded continuously for 54 seconds.
