No FO Brown, I’m not contemptuous of pilot skills, only of the ability of so many pilots to deliver those skills. The only thing missing in all these scenarios are flying pigs. Mr Dixon, the chances of this aircraft suffering any of the proposed malfunctions on these pages and colliding with this rock face are infintesimal. All indications are that the crew engaged in a last second extreme manouver to avoid impact. In other words they were either not looking where they were going or were IMC. You may pull the wool over the eyes of various politicians and lawyers, you can quote as many rules as you like and label the actions of this crew as you wish, would a trifle careless on the day do? The results are the same though. Hope that is courteous enough for you.
