One of the co-pilots cautions the flight attendants of upcoming turbulence. the flight's captain is resting, a standard procedure on long flights 2:10:16 a.m. 2:10:05 a.m. The autopilot and auto-thrust functions disengage. The airplaine rolls to the right; one co-pilot tries to rebalance the plane manually. The airspeed display shows a sudden drop in velocity from 509 to 111 km/h. The icing of the airspeed sensors is to blame for the sudden loss in speed. A stall warning is heard twice in the cockpit. 2:10:51 a.m. 2:11:06 a.m. The airplane reaches its maximum flight altitude of 11,600 metres. The plane's ptich attitude is about 16 degrees. The airplane begins to climb until reaching an altitude of 11,500 metres. The airplane's ptich attitude, the angle of the plane's nose above the horizon, increases progressively to more than 10 degrees. The stall warning is repeated a third time. One of the co-pilots has tried multiple times to call the captain back to the cockpit. His colleague, the other co-pilot, sets the engines to maximum thrust and pulls the plane's nose sharply upward. The horizontal stabilizer on the plane's tail section increases its angle from 3 to about 13 degrees nose-up. 2.11.38 2:11:52 2:11:55 • "Stall, stall"+ incomplete cricket 2:12:10 "Stall, stall" + incomplete cricket 2:12:15 • "There I don't know there it's going down" 2:12:45 • "On alti what do we have?" • What do you mean on altitude?" • "Yeah yeah yeah I'm going down, no?" • "You're going down yes" • "Hey you're in .. get the wings horizontal Get the wings horizontal" • "That's what l'm trying to do" • "Get the wings horizontal" • "Controls to the left" • "Well look take, take that" 2:12:32 • "No you climb there" 2:12:17 "Priority right" 2:12:26 • "The speed?" 2:12:30 • "Am I going dovwn now?"

The flight altitude is about 10,700 metres. The plane's angle in relation to the airstream reaches more than 40 degrees. The plane loses altitude at a rate of almost 200 km/h. 2:12:02 a.m. The crew has no valid instrument readings to consult. The thrust leavers that control the power output of the engines are idle. 2:12:17 a.m. One co-pilot tries to push the nose of the plane down. The angle of the planes nose decreases and the airspeed display again shows valid readings 2:13:39 • "Climb climb climb climb" - 2:13:55 •"Stall, stall" • End of the "Stall, stall" + cricket 2:14:05 • "Watch out you're pitching up there" Tm pitching up?" • "Well we need to we are at four thousand feet" 2:14:18 • "Go on pull" • "Let's go pull up pull up puli up" 2:13:28 • "Try to find what you can do with your controls up there.

The airplane hits the water at a ground speed of approximately 200 km/h and at a pitch attitude of approximately 16.2 degrees 2:13:32 a.m. One co-pilot registers a flight altitude of approximately 3,000 metres. Both co-pilots are now active at the controls. nose-up. MATTHEW BAMBANCH/THE GLOBE AND MAL N SOURCES: DER SPIEGEL; BEA REPORTS
