Cazatou,
For the first time in my life I have some sympathy with JP. We are making enough circles for several Olympic flags.
1. Read again our long "debate" on forecast v actual.
2. Lighthouse certain IFR. Crash site almost certain IFR.
3. Two to three miles from the coast probable VFR.
4&5. Very little evidence of a technical malfunction. ( Before you say none whatsoever read Burke and Witness A again at HOL.)
Also absolutely no evidence whatsoever that a technical malfunction did not take place.
You need an ADR and CVR for that. Not a TANS or Boeing simulation.
Bast0n,
Feel free to quote back at me whenever you like but do so accurately. I never use bold.
