CVR

We haven't learned much from the preliminary CIAIAC report that we didn't know already. I was particularly struck by the passage that relates to the CVR which says, and I translate quite literally now from the Spanish report:

"the CVR recordings allow to identify some expressions relating to the pre start, taxi and imminent take off checklists"

'some' expressions? does this mean to say that the recordings are so bad that they become unusable, or do they mean that the checklists were only partly complied with?? That sentence is extremely vague and yet the CVR recordings could shed some light on the sequence of events...

Very disappointing.
