I'd like to congratulate the bbc for a very good program. The media rightly comes in for a lot of stick on this forum for sensationalist rubbish it normally produces but this was well researched, accurate and non sensationalist. As some say maybe not ground breaking news but the general public probably haven't read the bea's report.

Yet again, it seems that basic flying skills were not sufficient to mitigate an accident on a highly automated aircraft after a series of failures - failure to avoid the storm and failure of the pitot static heat to keep the probes de-iced.
