Air France Noticed A330 Sensor Problem Last Year
Air France Noticed A330 Sensor Problem Last Year, Notice it is 18 months after Airbus recommended that clients upgrade to a version less vulnerable to ice.
Press release N° 12
Update on anemometric sensors
Following the many questions which have appeared in the media on the issue of the Pitot probes in its fleet (the Pitot probe is an instrument which measures the air speed of the aircraft), Air France wishes to make the following clarifications:
1) Malfunctions in the Pitot probes on the A 320 led the manufacturer to issue a recommendation in September 2007 to change the probes. This recommendation also applies to long-haul aircraft using the same probes and on which a very few incidents of a similar nature had occurred.
