I invite you (and everyone else) to also take a look at our analysis, which tries hard not to be judgmental, and leave open all possibilities as to why TL #2 was recorded at CL detent on the FDR graphs (the theory about the flight crew actually leaving it there is included, as it is believed by many to be the most likely explanation, but is clearly marked as an assumption).
Here's the
article in our compendium, here's the actual
PDF file of the analysis.
I recommend PBL's introductory article, as it contains a lot or explanatory remarks on the Why-Because Graph. To those unfamiliar with the Why-Because-Analysis I also highly recommend the the
Why-Because-Analysis web pages.
Your comments will be appreciated.
