For once the Turkish Authorities are caught between a rock and a hard place. Normally we never get to hear the results of the investigations and Ali Sabanci won't want the "pegasus family" hung out to dry. On the other hand Boeing and CFM face severe commercial pressure to publish the results lest there is a call for CFM engined A/c and NGs to be grounded pending the resolution. Boeing stated uncommanded thrust INCREASE is a 1/100,000,000 hrs event, on the other hand DECREASES on thrust are quite common especially at high power in the climb. The Facts as we know them are: Cloudbase was below minima, FO was PF for most of the approach, Reverse was selected, and the centre line track not maintained after landing. From the "Flying Horses mouth" FO elected to GA and the flight somehow landed. Given the harsh regime in Turkey we are not surprised by the Pilot statements to the prosecutors, however, this event could have been a huge loss of life and the authorities have a duty to release the info, and in a timely manner. Good job its not US all PAX would be finding a lawyer by now..
