Hi there.
This last FLR has not been fully explained by the BEA (it is said that this would be a transient/intermittent problem with the FMGEC, raised by the AFS, for an anomaly of less than 2.5 s).
This occurred 3 minutes and 10 sec. after the A/THR off, presumably linked to a Pitot problem, and this Pitot freezing problems did not last more than 2 or 3 min in the other known occurrences of Pitot problems: could this unexplained FLR be linked to airspeeds fluctuating back to their nominal value ?
Would it be possible to look into the Airbus TSM to get all the possible problems this FLR might point to ? (to see whether some of these are linked in any manner to airspeeds, to airspeeds out of the flight enveloppe, etc...)
