I just don't believe in the scenario: "fast fall from FL350 in one piece and four minutes" I may be wrong, but it looks to me like a false lead to follow until we'll get much more facts to explain it.
takata,
I would accept the blocked pitot theory without further questioning if it was not that IR2 fault.
I am just trying to find a rational relationship between those ACARS messages.
But I agree with you. We need much more facts to tell the whole story.
Anyway several simulator tests are probably being performed right now at AI to check all the possibilites that could lead to those ACARS messages.
Forgive me for droning on, but I think this technical aspectd needs to be clear.
PJ2,
I just have to thank you for your technical explanation.
