Exactly.
I think it's because the PPRune experts have determined so. The evidence supporting this, however, is rather scant.
Same same the nonsense above re bracing at FL300. Evidence? Oh, a media report about what passenger said. Must be fact then. PPRune has spoken. Not even 24 hours later.
Troubling, isn't it?
As for AS vs DN: I haven't even bothered to check old TAF's but can almost guarantee there would have been TS all over DN. Sounds like AS was a very smart choice by a couple of PROFESSIONAL pilots flying a twin with OEI.
