It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out what probably happened. Whatever the report concludes in a couple of years time, there are already valuable lessons to be learned.
When there is an accident, there are generally two causes - either the aircraft broke, or the pilot(s) made an error. Sometimes, a crash happens because the aircraft broke and the crew subsequently made error... swiss cheese and all that.
Most of you that knew one of the pilots are clearly in denial that your mate could possibly have made an error. Fine, but recognise that for what it is, a purely emotional response, not an analytical (or professional) one.
What a daft contradition - is the suggestion that in this prang that the aircraft could of broke but that the pilot is to blame... just what a grieving mother needs to hear...
The "valuable lessons" will be found by the crash investigators not by some muppet posters on pprune.
flying-spike put it well me-thinks.
