At 3 pm there was a meeting at the Third Integrated Center of Air Defense and Air traffic Control (CINDACTA III), of the various military organizations involved in the Operation, in order to evaluate the logistical means made necessary for the continuation of the aerial and naval search and recovery missions, in view of the lack, until this moment, of an estimated date for the end of the Operation.
