And what about the aircraft?

Despite the Analysis, Findings and conclusions, readable at http://www.bahrainairport.com/GF072i...ionreport.htm, the factual information had previously lead to point some comments about an hypothetical malfunction of the aircraft systems, specifically the well known hard limit "fly-by-wire" conception.

Some experts have talked about an APC phenomenon, caused by overcommand on the sidestick from the PIC.

Surprisingly, any comment is done about this. Even to say that everything worked out properly ...
