sensor validation
Why would one exclude the area about LKP to be assiduously searched and researched? A proprietary instinct that one's a/c would look dismal if found to have "fallen" from the sky rather than soldier on in spite of the "unlucky pilots" who missed the cell everyone else had "luckily" avoided? Poor dumb inept pilots, after all, the machine was stall proof and had far better breeding than a fall from great altitude would challenge?? Talk about unfortunate theories on PPRuNe, they actually started with the first unanswered Selcal? No monitoring of the a/c's flight in Paris? Unplug, damage control, blame, distract, redirect, dim the lights, etc. This flight ended in a typically corporate and political CF with the all too eager Press rabidly promoting the drivel from Paris and Toulouse.
imho.
