John.
We really should stop going around the same bouy, but in answer to your post I recall (I do not have the documents in front of me) Cable's evidence was that at impact the aircraft was in a dynamic maneouvre; it had less than 10 degrees yaw, was banked 5 to 10 degrees to port and pitched up 30 degrees. The Boeing simulation broadly agreed with that. Are you suggesting that it was in a routine steady climb?
And just by the way, you very well know my view about the whole flight path, which is that in those weather conditions, marginal at best, the aircraft should not have been where it was, ie at low level, at speed, heading for hills covered or parially covered in cloud, technical fault or no technical fault. With all good wishes, JP
