It is a fact that the BEA might very well work on this possibility. I might be wrong but in this case the latest ACARS fault :
0214 21-31-00-2 WRN ADVSRY
CABIN VERTICAL SPEED
LOSS OF ADR DATA
that has just be re-ordered by Desert Dawg, would have been the first warning, not the latest to have been be sent....
Normally the BEA should publish a preliminary report today and not the 2nd of July. At this date is the press point.
1. of course, the BEA is investigating the Water/Waste fault reported May 31 at 2245Z as well as all the faults reported during F-GZCP's carreer. But this article (from a regional newspaper) is only a re-shoot from another one published several days ago from another unreliable source (general public information using unverifiable sources and adding counterfactual data to write another "storyline").
2. CABIN VERTICAL SPEED is an ADVISORY (a green button will flash by intermitence on the cabin pressure panel). A cabine decompression issue would be a major issue and full alarms would be displayed by sound and message all over the cockpit. At this point, this fault is about one cabin pressure controller (a second one is in stand-by). This cabin controller needs a differential pressure to work (Cabin pressure & outside air pressure). When two or more ADIRUs are faulted, the outside air pressure is lacking and the cabin pressure can not be monitored automatically anymore. That's why Mandala noted: LOSS OF ADR DATA.
=> This is not a decompression issue.
3. No preliminary BEA report is expected today as it should be released thursday at the press conference.
