当时在大西洋上空遇到风暴。事后分析,飞机空速管被冻住,高度显示读数为零,如果等待一分钟以后,空速管会逐渐恢复。但是驾驶员以为飞机正在坠落海面,采取拉高飞机的动作,导致事故。

以下是BEA报告结论部分的原文(因为机翻错误太多,无法阅读,我个人又没时间一点一点翻,所以直接把原文写上去了):
3.2 Causes of the Accident
The obstruction of the Pitot probes by ice crystals during cruise was a phenomenon that was known but misunderstood by the aviation community at the time of the accident. From an operational perspective, the total loss of airspeed information that resulted from this was a failure that was classified in the safety model. After initial reactions that depend upon basic airmanship, it was expected that it would be rapidly diagnosed by pilots and managed where necessary by precautionary measures on the pitch attitude and the thrust, as indicated in the associated procedure.The occurrence of the failure in the context of flight in cruise completely surprised the pilots of flight AF 447. The apparent difficulties with aeroplane handling at high altitude in turbulence led to excessive handling inputs in roll and a sharp nose-up input by the PF. The destabilisation that resulted from the climbing flight path and the evolution in the pitch attitude and vertical speed was added to the erroneous airspeed indications and ECAM messages, which did not help with the diagnosis. The crew, progressively becoming de-structured, likely never understood that it was faced with a “simple” loss of three sources of airspeed information. In the minute that followed the autopilot disconnection, the failure of the attempts to understand the situation and the de-structuring of crew cooperation fed on each other until the total loss of cognitive control of the situation. The underlying behavioural hypotheses in classifying the loss of airspeed information as “major were not validated in the context of this accident. Confirmation of this classification thus supposes additional work on operational feedback that would enable improvements, where required, in crew training, the ergonomics of information supplied to them and the design of procedures.The aeroplane went into a sustained stall, signalled by the stall warning and strong buffet. Despite these persistent symptoms, the crew never understood that they were stalling and consequently never applied a recovery manoeuvre. The combination of the ergonomics of the warning design, the conditions in which airline pilots are trained and exposed to stalls during their professional training and the process of recurrent training does not generate the expected behaviour in any acceptable reliable way.In its current form, recognizing the stall warning, even associated with buffet, supposes that the crew accords a minimum level of “legitimacy” to it. This then supposes sufficient previous experience of stalls, a minimum of cognitive availability and understanding of the situation, knowledge of the aeroplane (and its protection modes) and its flight physics. An examination of the current training for airline pilots does not, in general, provide convincing indications of the building and maintenance of the associated skills. More generally, the double failure of the planned procedural responses shows the limits of the current safety model. When crew action is expected, it is always supposed that they will be capable of initial control of the flight path and of a rapid diagnosis that will allow them to identify the correct entry in the dictionary of procedures. A crew can be faced with an unexpected situation leading to a momentary but profound loss of comprehension. If, in this case, the supposed capacity for initial mastery and then diagnosis is lost, the safety model is then in “common failure mode”. During this event, the initial inability to master the flight path also made it impossible to understand the situation and to access the planned solution.
Thus, the accident resulted from the following succession of events:
Temporary inconsistency between the airspeed measurements, likely following the obstruction of the Pitot probes by ice crystals that, in particular, caused the autopilot disconnection and the reconfiguration to alternate law;
Inappropriate control inputs that destabilized the flight path;
The lack of any link by the crew between the loss of indicated speeds called out and the appropriate procedure;
The late identification by the PNF of the deviation from the flight path and the insufficient correction applied by the PF;
The crew not identifying the approach to stall, their lack of immediate response and the exit from the flight envelope;
The crew‘s failure to diagnose the stall situation and consequently a lack of inputs that would have made it possible to recover from it.
These events can be explained by a combination of the following factors:
The feedback mechanisms on the part of all those involved that made it impossible:
To identify the repeated non-application of the loss of airspeed information procedure and to remedy this,
To ensure that the risk model for crews in cruise included icing of the Pitot probes and its consequences;
The absence of any training, at high altitude, in manual aeroplane handling and in the procedure for ”Vol avec IAS douteuse”;
Task-sharing that was weakened by:
Incomprehension of the situation when the autopilot disconnection occurred, Poor management of the startle effect that generated a highly charged emotional factor for the two copilots;
The lack of a clear display in the cockpit of the airspeed inconsistencies identified by the computers;
The crew not taking into account the stall warning, which could have been due to: A failure to identify the aural warning, due to low exposure time in training to stall phenomena, stall warnings and buffet,The appearance at the beginning of the event of transient warnings that could be considered as spurious,The absence of any visual information to confirm the approach-to-stall after the loss of the limit speeds,The possible confusion with an overspeed situation in which buffet is also considered as a symptom,Flight Director indications that may led the crew to believe that their actions were appropriate, even though they were not,The difficulty in recognizing and understanding the implications of a reconfiguration in alternate law with no angle of attack protectice

法航447空难原因:机长离岗两副手配合失误
据黑匣子记录显示,进入风暴区前,资深副驾驶进入驾驶舱,上左座,换机长出去休息。不久右座副驾驶注意到气象雷达设置不正确,重新调整后发现风暴的强度比预想要强得多而且很难避让。此时机外温度异常高,这表明空气对流程度极其剧烈,造成飞机爬升性能下降,不足以上升到更高的高度。
空速管(一种让气流通过来测量空速的输气管)遭遇暴风冻结,飞机除冰失效,自动驾驶仪脱离。右座副驾驶接管了飞机的控制,并立即拉杆爬升(尽管爬升性能不足)。失速警报在右座拉杆不久就被触发,但两人都未作出任何回应。左座一度曾注意到速度变化,并提醒右座注意,右座答应下降,但事实上仍在拉杆爬升。
很快,一个空速管恢复了工作,机组开始得到正确的空速信息。左座多次要求下降,右座减小了拉杆力,飞机空速逐渐恢复,但仍在缓慢拉升。失速警报解除,但右座仍保持拉杆。
飞机完全恢复操控之后,右座再次增大拉杆,重新触发失速警报。尽管右座试图拉到正常的复飞姿态,但此时发动机、机翼效能已不足继续爬升,飞机在达到最大高度后开始下降。左座也对飞机的反应莫名其妙,因为他根本了解不到右座的操纵输入。左座重新接管飞机之后,仍然忽视了一直在响的失速警报,继续拉杆,而飞机此时已经失速,转为高速下坠。
空速管失效险情出现1分半钟后,机长回到驾驶舱。但他选择了坐在后面观察指导,而不是回到左座接管。飞机继续下坠,由于没有实际操控,机长不知道有人仍在拉杆,也没有想到去问这个初级问题,就更无法理解仪表的异常读数了。失速警报一度短暂解除。三人简单讨论了当前情况,但没有一人提到失速的可能,尽管失速警报几乎一直在响。但讨论的结果是最终认识到飞机的确是在高速下坠。
就在飞机接近10000英尺高度时,左座副驾驶试图接管操纵,做出推杆输入。但此时右座仍在拉杆,左座的结果只是抵消掉右座输入,飞机仍然处于机首上仰的姿态。右座终于说出了事情的真相:“我们一直在拉杆!为什么还会这样?”机长立即指示:“不行!不能爬升!”
左座命令下降并让右座放弃控制,右座照办后,左座终于压低机头,飞机开始增速,但仍在下坠中。飞机在离地面约2000英尺左右时,近地警报响起,右座在无申明的情况下再次拉杆。机长命令不能爬升,话音刚落,飞机便坠毁!
