It is not just your phrases that are careless. Have you thought about your analysis of the final moments of the flight - of which we know so little. There is some evidence of unusual control movements in the final seconds. These may be the result of suddenly being aware of high ground. They could equally be the result of fighting against undemanded engine or contol movements. I dont know, and nor do you, nor does Worker, nor does K52.... without doubt whatsover.
We do not know if the crew had a choice of turning away from high ground. We do not know if they were in control, or fighting the controls, at that moment in time. The technical history of the aircraft suggests that problems were not uncommon. If there were first class witnesses, survivors, black boxes, RT calls, radar traces or the like we would be in a better position to make judgements. But without that information we are all in the dark, save simulations and frankly inspired guesswork.
That is what this forum is all about. Noone knows for sure exactly what actually happened ie without doubt whatsoever.
Untill we do we cannot have confidence in the verdict of the 2 AMs.
Best wishes
