What this source establishes

Roraima Airways pilot Learie Barclay testified that his crew located the distress scene at 2:09 a.m. on 19 July after receiving coordinates and observing flares; he said he was subsequently told two survivors, then eight more, had been rescued.

Key claims

  • The pilot testified to identifying the location at 2:09 a.m.
  • He said the first ten survivors were rescued within minutes of that location being relayed.
  • This testimony adds a located-scene timestamp to the record; it does not itself establish when the wider rescue operation began.
