This discussion leads to nowhere.

Some believe that the pilots just let the TL there...
Others are not sure about what happened but even so state that the pilots just let the TL there...

We have

1 - The right procedure in the previous landing;

2 - A right TLA FDR reading at 22.5 degrees;

The problem:

CENIPA send what (is believed) to be the (almost entirely melted) TL pedestal to.... AIRBUS !!!

If Airbus safety director, before a parlamentary commission, states that French certification authorities opposed to the mandatory implementation of a warning that could avoid the PR-MBK accident in either case (HF or mechanical/electronical failure) without showing any proof of it, how can you trust these guys ?

Who has enough knowledge to completely overrule the hypothesis of electrocnical, mechanical or arbitration failure that is sparked by only one engine being put in reverse ?

Who can assure that in the other accidents (in Taiwan there is a mechanical sound - but it could be the Tl that was in reverse being put back to idle) there wasn't any pressure from the manufacturer or the airline ? Who talked to the pilots ?

Secretely conducting those investigations is innacceptable.
