Sorry Mav we lost power in the middle of the message, my apologies if I misread your post.

9Aplus, I believe it was night time.

Were there any CAS Messages?
Did the FDR parameters indicate an intentional descent profile?
Were they coupled up?
Were they in landing configuration?
Were they both looking inside trying to figure out how to input data in the MCDUs?
Were the floats armed?
Were they going to shoot a full ILS on RWY26 or were they going to do a left downwind then land visually?

How much time for the crew:
In type, at night, in type at night, flying MCC, recent.

All of those questions except for one already have answers, and someone in the investigative team has already the picture together.

Time will tell for us.

For one, I hope that something good comes out of this tragedy.
