Otherwise it shows extreme sloppy practice that has no place in accident investigation.
Howdy booke.
No entity would propose findings that cannot be shown. This is the reason I recommended the FOIA. Every statement made must show a credible methodology, to accepted standards. If all is left is the final report, the CAB looks beyond foolish, bordering fraudulent.
Destruction of public records, no matter how innocent, can be charged as a felony.
AI? My guess is that CAB made some finding based on the gyro instrument “tumbling”, and that somehow, this tumbling produced artifacts of needle/bezel, that could be seen as genuine, and of value....
and survived the violent crash of the cockpit four hundred feet after the tracks ate the wingtip...
Otherwise, it is a blatant error, made up out of whole cloth....
