In anticipation of the release of the FDR info, does anyone know exactly what key data will be available from this particular model of FDR as fitted to this particular aircraft?

Will it include precise 3 dimensional positional data from the gps (or other device) or is this data available separately from the gps box(es) itself.

If all timescales sync then we will know precisely when the "demand" to go around ties in with the action of applying power/control surface deflections and at what QFE/RA heights.

That should be interesting.

Having followed this thread closely it beggars belief that no-one apparently was cross referring the RA values with the QFE based baro altimeter.
As they requested, set(?) and read back the QFE, just exactly what did the crew intend to do with that information other than monitor that baro alt to DH

or....was someone monitoring one of the baro alts with the wrong pressure setting. Still with departure airport setting perhaps?

Basic stuff I know but they were clearly under pressure to execute a landing for their VIPs to attend the ceremony in time.
