According to who/what? Surely you're not going to blindly defend AF with only the filtered details contained within the BEA report?!
I never intended to defend AF, on the contrary. You can check it on other forums where I've been criticizing the BEA report in regard to the missing spacer issue 6 years ago (I know you like to read my old posts
).
Now in regard to the values, I don't have anything else to propose that what is officially available. Do you have a reliable alternative?
While the BEA report is clearly voluntarily ignoring some issues (effects of the missing spacer during previous landings), I don't think its values have been altered on purpose.
