"This document presents an update on the progress of the technical investigation as of 29 July 2011. It adds to Interim Reports 1 and 2, published by the BEA on 2 July and 17 December 2009. It contains, in particular, some analysis of the data read out from the flight recorders. In accordance with Annex 13 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation and with European Regulation n°996/2010, the investigation has not been not conducted so as to apportion blame, nor to assess individual or collective responsibility. The sole objective is to draw lessons from this occurrence which may help to prevent future accidents. Consequently, the use of this report for any purpose other than for the prevention of future accidents could lead to erroneous interpretations. (Special Foreword To English Edition) - This interim report has been translated and published by the BEA to make its reading easier for English-speaking people. As accurate as the translation may be, the the original text in French should be considered as the work of reference."--Foreword
