Airbus: No Major Malfunctions in Air France Crash
European plane manufacturer Airbus, issuing the strongest signal yet that pilot mistakes may have led to the 2009 crash of an Air France jet, said data recorders recently recovered from the wreckage haven't revealed any obvious or major aircraft malfunctions before its fatal dive.

When in doubt.... blame it on the pilots is the airbus motto probably something with their fly by wire systems that caused the crash
You guys are on the right track. As far as I know the NTSB will nit be involved since the plane was built in Europe. There rae criminal suits filed in France against Airbus abd Air France and the will do anything they can to pass on the blame. If nothing was wrong why did the on-board monitoring send all the messages about airspeed problems etc and withdraw computer support. The crew probably lost control of the airplane, not because they were incompetent but rather because theybwere handed a mess of multiple warnings, disconnection of the autopilot etc and they were probably overwhelmed. Don't trust the French on this! To demonstrate how little regard Airbus has for pilots they promote the planes as "pilot proof". What an insult!
riddfly I don't believe one Iota that you are a 320 pilot, not even a truck driver -with due respect to truck drivers though-. The FAA would have never allowed a single Airbus aircraft to fly in the US based on "statisticas and probabilities". What the hell are you talking about, you are insulting the FAA that always requires rigorous and successful testing prior to certification. No pilot worth his license would fly a non-certificated aircraft unless he is an Experimental Test Pilot out of Edwards, Patuxent and other famous airfields where you would not be allowed in even just to sweep the runways.
Re riddfly comments, "I fly A320 for a living... I do not understand how the authorities certify airplanes like these based on some flight test data and mainly on statistics and probabilities".
Do you have a better way of certifying new aircraft? If so lets hear it............

Too early to tell but I hope that the other agencies do not let Airbus and Thales off the hook too easily. The easy way out always is to blame the PILOTS! but in this case it will not be very convincing.The final report will probably take another two years!!!!
IT'S ALWAYS THE PILOT, B. S.
