On a different tack...

I am curious as to how the Hawk Simulator fitted into all this. The pilot flew the emergency in the simulator a couple of times less than 2 hours before the accident. The simulator staff didn't find any noteable faults with his exercises though presumeably they hadn't pick up the new changes to the PEFATO profile. In the absence of any recordings of the exercises, the accident investigators didn't appear to check that the simulator could have given any false cues or perceptions in this kind of manoeuvre.

I'm not having a go at the simulator, I actually worked on it's development, and thought it would be a great training aid and have uses in accident investigations as well but that doesn't seem to be so in this instance.
