Just diverging slightly, I haven’t spotted any discussion in the 3 threads running on this accident to possible icing/blockage of the static vents (they are all in close proximity to each-other) and the effect thereof.
I find it slightly bewildering why, when the altitude was obviously bleeding off and the wings were level the crew appears not to have initiated a nose down pitch for stall recovery. Or can we possibly conclude that the controls were compromised i.e. jammed horizontal stabaliser, preventing this.
