From bulletin's page 21:

‘If the IRU data is Non Computed Data (NCD) as we assumed due to IRU being in ALIGN mode, EFIS will remove IRU related data but it will not display IRU related Flags on EADI or EHSI. With IRU data being NCD, EFIS will remove horizontal line, pitch lines, roll pointer and sky/ground shading from the EADI.
So if I understood this correctly, the crew taxied and took off with blank EADIs, as shown on page 14?!?!?

If it was indeed so, then their lack of english communication skills and difficulties with flying on standby instruments were not their greatest problems on that day.
