abricot - 'sound' advice. I would also ask that the welter of posts about stalls/'flat' spins/whatever is tempered by the fact that neither we, nor, I believe, BEA, ACTUALLY know how it hit or what made it fall from the sky, so to get to minutiae at this stage is rather pointless. Trying to determine failure and impact events from jpegs on the web is also a rather daunting task.
I watch this thread for 'news' and have become jaded by the intensity of to-ing and fro-ing here about what I feel are inessentials.
Anyone got any NEWS - or perhaps some more 'good advice' for the younger pilot and design generation instead?
EDIT: Regarding Heidegger - his writings are 'notoriously difficult'
