For environment, don't just think of weather!
For this to be an interference (or software) fault, with the information the AAIB have released now, it would have to be a fault which:
- reduced engine thrust to below that commanded
- simultaneously faked the data to the FDR etc. to show that everything right through to the fuel valves was responding to commands
- did all this without leaving
any other trace of interference in the recorded data
To say that is not credible (for software bug or RFI) is putting it mildly.
Yes it
could still have been software failure, or RFI
, just as it
could still have been aliens. I note the AAIB haven't explicitly ruled out alien involvement either...
