It is probably two-three minutes after this that the airplane encountered icing conditions (the CVR recorded what sounded like hail or graupel on the outside of the airplane, and the engine anti-ice system came on) and ice crystals started to accumulate in the pitot tubes. At 02:06 UTC, the pilot warned the cabin crew that they were about to enter an area of turbulence. After having attended the briefing between the two co-pilots, the captain left the cockpit to rest at 02:01:46 UTC. At 01:55 UTC, he woke the second pilot and said: '. he's going to take my place'. In accordance with common practice, the captain had sent one of the co-pilots for the first rest period with the intention of taking the second break himself. With three pilots on board, each of them can take a rest during the flight, and for this purpose the A330 has a rest cabin, situated just behind the cockpit.

However, because the thirteen hours 'duty time' (flight duration, plus pre-flight preparation) for the Rio–Paris route exceeds the maximum ten hours permitted by Air France's procedures, Flight 447 was crewed by three pilots: a captain and two first officers. The Airbus A330 is designed to be flown by a crew of two pilots. The aircraft left Brazilian Atlantic radar surveillance at 01:49 UTC. The last verbal contact with the aircraft was at 01:35 UTC, 3 hours and 6 minutes after the 22:29 UTC departure, when it reported that it had passed waypoint INTOL, located 565 km (351 mi) off Natal, on Brazil's north-eastern coast. The aircraft departed from Rio de Janeiro-Galeão International Airport on at 19:29 local time (22:29 UTC), with a scheduled arrival at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport at 10:03 the following day.
