Air France Airbus Flight 447: Information Withheld

George’s Point of View

The next big question is whether or not information is withheld.

That’s what some families are wondering, and that’s part of the reason why they’ve hired lawyers. Plaintiffs have access to more information; and they want to know what reason Air France has for not replacing a known Airbus problem, the pitot probes (airbus speed sensors.)

What has been published is error messages based on inconsistent readings taken by the pitot probes.
