Chinook
Seldomfitforpurpose. Please do not misunderstand me; I am merely anxious that Brian present a rubust case to SofS so that we might at last see this case put to bed, one way or the other.
With that in mind, and with regard to your last post, I trust Brian will be able to answer the following point:
If there was some kind of control restriction that prevented the crew from turning away from the IMC conditions ahead, as they should have done, how did the aircraft manage to enter a cruise climb that would have enabled them to clear the hills had they been on their intended track?
And, with that control restiction, how was it that the aircraft was able to make a last minute pull-up and left turn in an apparent attempt to avoid the granite ahead of it?"
I do not mind, you understand, but these points will not go away.
With renewed good wishes. JP
