APPENDIX 2 - Transcript of the last five minutes of the
CVR recording
FORWARD
The following is a transcript of elements which were
comprehensible, at the time of the preparation of the present report by the
BEA's Engineering Department, from the readout of the cockpit voice recorder
(CVR). This transcript contains conversations between crew members,
radiotelephonic messages between the crew and Air Traffic Control services and
various noises corresponding, for example, to the use of controls or to the
alarms.The reader's attention is drawn to the fact that the recording and
transcription of the CVR are only a partial reflection of events and of the
atmosphere in the cockpit. Consequently, the utmost care is required in the
interpretation of this document. Communications recorded on the CVR between the
ATC and other aircraft are not transcribed. The transcript is complete in the
last phase of the recording. The voices of the crew members are heard through
the cockpit area microphone. They are displayed in separate columns for the
sake of clarity for the reader. One column is reserved for other voices, noises
and alarms also heard via the cockpit area microphone.
