How about Egyptair flight 990 ?
Autopilot disconnected just like the Skippy bird did.[/QUOTE]
er, did you ever look at the DFDR of that plane? or hear the CVR? if not, please refrain from sprouting nonsense.
[The QAR records the methods of disconnect.... which kinda blows a "whole" in your supposition of commonality or conspiracy or I know not what...]
The parameters of the DFDR were adequate to identify exactly what was being done on the flight controls of MSR 990, and the system behavior was completely consistent with the inputs, as were the flight dynamics. Additionally, please don't bring in any reference to Silkair 185, the data and the dissenting opinion on the report are convincing, as were the mcab flyouts of the reconstruction.
There are adequate real issues to contend with....
