December 12, 2007 23:14 284 views No Comment

The TSB has released an update to the Air France investigation. Some of the new findings that were presented in the report are:

- A lightning strike damaged the wind direction and speed recording system for runway 24L (the one air france was to land on)

- Wind shifted at the moment of touchdown causing a tailwind for the landing aircraft

- The heavy rains diluted the foam the fire fighters were using to put out the flames.

Be sure to check out the current report and its appendices

The report indicates that a final report will be made to the public when their investigation is complete.

You can also watch the CBC report online in windows media format.

All of the recommendations that the TSB is making is also available online.
