Whatever its serviceability state it still was flown by someone into a rock.
Baston, But that sentiment is the one I objected to; you have obviously completely missed the point, and that same one from Brian Dixon.
It is not known for certain if the aircraft was under the pilots' control, or not. There are a number of previous references about the issue of the detached control pallet found after the accident. There had been previous problems with the same, on this airframe and others elsewhere. Thankyou.
