This is very relevant.
If one reads the complete report of the french BEA, there are clear inconsistencies.

Inconsistencies that are very clear, even for a non-specialist. I just had to put together the inconsistent part, found within the whole document.

I pointed them out in a document that I posted on a french forum.
I could provide a quick translation.
There are strong suspicions of the French authorities camouflaging a flight control law problem on the A320, in order not to compromise its commercial carreer. In which they succeeded.

Is anyone interested in looking into my findings ?


What is the matter at hand with this Sully flare ?
Was the AOA (about 14°) at touchdown inferior to what it should have been (alpha max for CONF 2, whose value I don't know by heart) ??
