Sorry, Deacon Brodie, but the 'theory about being over MTOW, changing windspeeds, etc' is easily recoverable data. You do understand the significance of RTOW, ATOW and MTOW, don't you....
I still haven't seen any clear statements of:
1. ATOW
2. RTOW calculated by the crew.
3. The real RTOW with the substantial tailwind.
....or any evidence to indicate that anyone on the crew had even reviewed the t/o performance calculations when faced with the actual conditions.
It's not individuals who I'm criticising, it's the culture that seemed to exist on the doomed flight deck.
