Boeing Analysis
Walter,
I have at last read the Mitchell Boeing Analysis.
As simple aircrew the full technical merits of this report are beyond me.
I will put on my SFSO hat and do as I always do in situations like this, consult someone who really does understand.
Even as simple aircrew, I can see a couple of problems with this report.
1. This analysis was made in 2002. I believe it was made at the request of the HOL enquiry. The analysis was made as a result of the demolition of the initial simulation done at that inquiry. The demolition was done mainly by the evidence of Cable and Burke.
This analysis should certainly be brought up at the next inquiry and fully scrutinised by the same men, or at least someone with similar backgrounds and experience. Then we will see just how good it really is.
2. Another problem is the source material.
"These include the RACAL (Thales) report"
Since RACAL have already conceeded that this report shows what "may" have happened, not what "did". (Para 1.1.5 of the Report), can this analysis have any relevance if the RACAL data is ignored.
I think not.
