The unexplained loss of control of an aircraft at Flight idle ticks my serious incident box, as I understand it injury or airframe damage is not a prerequisite of the AAIB's involvement. If I were flying that type I'd want a considered explanation, or at least an honest admission that it had not been possible to identify the cause.
As it stands and based upon the operators press release we have neither.
