But my comments do also apply to the BNE MAS takeoff with pitot covers on. I remain unclear about how an apparently accurate 100kn speed call was made there.
Ahhh, OK, obviously I though you were speaking of the current LionAir accident. I too am unclear on the BNE MAS incident. Did the PM make the call based on GS? Where is GS displayed on a A330? On the airplane I fly, it's displayed in a location that you're really have to work at it to mistake it for IAS. Or did he make the call based on GS intentionally, because he didn't have an IAS displayed? The preliminary report states that they observed IAS error flags, was that before or after the 100 knot call? It will be interesting to read the final report on that incident.
