Food for Though..
· Why was the conversation btwn the captain and FO btwn Abidjan and Doula censored from the report?
·Why was the heated argument in the Yaunde Air Control tower btwn 2 air controllers on whether to clear the aircraft for take off or not under that stormy weather condition censored?
·The net tendancy of the A/C to roll to the right was not addressed fully in the report, was it a technical default ? was it a production malfunction?
·Prior to such incidences was it a requirement for the FO to verbally respond to the OK “COMMAND”?
·If the Captain initiated the engagement of the AP then why “ did it not engage”
·Did the AP disengage ? If so why was this not documented?
·Per earlier conversation the captain requested TWR that after takeoff they wanted to head right due to the weather condition ahead. Did the tendency of the A/C to bank right dissolution the crew into thinking that the AP was still engaged?
·Do 737-800 APs disengage under stormy conditions?
·Why didn’t the report mention pilot error as the cause of the accident but human factor?
