Where are the details?
I am not asking this question as a criticism nor am I trying to start or continue any political discussion. As I read these discussions (every one in detail) I am surprised that there is still such a wide range of disagreement about the facts concerning what actually happened. Who did what when? I am not asking WHY – just who, what, when.
Why has almost a year gone by with no apparent agreement among pilots and professional aviation experts as to what events transpired in the cockpit, ATC, computers, mechanical equipment, engines, avionics?
Is there a technical reason a computer-generated analysis/recreation of the event has not been made available, similar to what I saw for Buffalo/Colgan?
The FDR/CVR were recovered within hours, the radar data is available, all radio transmissions were recorded and available, ground personal and pilots saw the event – yet there is no agreement as to exactly what happened and when. I read arguments about gates entered/not entered, throttle settings made/ignored/not ignored/not made, rate of descent, AoA,…etc, no one has heard the CVR or ATC communications. Those are simple incontrovertible facts with no judgmental, emotional, or political content– why haven’t those facts been made public?
Please explain why it is taking so long to tell us the exact actions taken by pilots, ATC, and the conversations that occurred. Those actions and conversations were recorded in fantastic detail – yet there is no public release of that data. It seems to me the facts can not be altered and will be made available at some point so why not get them out as soon as possible and put to rest much speculation.
Is there some technical problem with making all the facts known?
