Air France Monday "acknowledged" the recommendations of an independent safety review team.
Air France set up the team of eight independent experts in December 2009, after the crash of an A330 flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, killing all 228 people on board.
Airbus SAS was charged with manslaughter over the fatal crash of an Air France jetliner into the Atlantic while en route from Brazil to Paris in June 2009.
The preliminary charges, filed after a French investigating judge met with Airbus’s lawyers, allow the continuation of a probe into the crash of Flight 447, which killed all 228 people on board. The judge will meet with Air France tomorrow.
French investigators are confident that they have located the crash site of the Air France Airbus A330-200 which was lost over the South Atlantic nearly two years ago.
Flight AF447 came down while en route between Rio de Janeiro and Paris Charles de Gaulle on 1 June 2009.
While some floating debris, including the tail fin, was retrieved, the main wreckage from the jet - including the crucial flight recorders - could not be located.
Over the following months three extensive attempts to locate the wreckage were launched, each lasting several weeks, but without success.
But the Bureau d'Enquetes et d'Analyses says that a new search, which began last month, has turned up evidence of identifiable aircraft wreckage.
"We can say the accident site has been found," says a spokeswoman for the BEA, adding that further details will be released today.
Den delen som er funnet, inneholder imidlertid ikke lagringsenheten, og funnet kan dermed ikke gi noe informasjon om hva som skjedde da Airbus-330-203-maskinen styrtet i havet 1. juni for to år siden.
En av två så kallade "svarta lådor" från det Air France-plan som störtade den 1 juni 2009 vid flygning, mellan Rio de Janeiro och Paris, har hittats, meddelade utredare på söndagen.
