The RNS 252 operated in route mode can AUTOMATICALLY change to the next waypoint just before you reach it and you are given a steer that does not take you over the waypoint. This is the equivalent of a 'commercial turn' taught in IF schools. The pilot can manually change the waypoint. I don't know what happened in this case, enough to say that it could have been automatic. Can anyone confirm this??
vecvechookattack, you are partly correct, if they deliberately flew that ac into the ground they would be G/Negligent. The Mk2 had no IF clearance at the time. I'm not sure if you have read the whole thread, if not, please do. It explains the lack of clearances and the known FADEC problems causing massive engine problems. Please tell us how YOU are certain that nothing else was happening in the seconds before impact?? We are NOT saying they were not negligent, god only knows that they might have been. We are saying that without absolute certainty and proof, there is only one conclusion.
"Racal confirmed that the system was performing perfectly at the time of loss of power". Everyone says that after an incident............
