SaturnV

After reading the AIT, I do not think it really says anything.

I do have a couple of questions for all:

Per the first report:

FLAG ON CAPT PFD FPV and FLAG ON F/O PFD FPV (2h 11)

Symptoms: Disappearance of the FPV (bird) on the PFD's, Captains and First Officer's sides, and display of the red FPV flag.

Meaning: This message indicates that the FPV function is selected and unavailable.

1. Does this indicate that at least one person was in the cockpit at 2h 11?

2. Does this indicate that two people were in the cockpit at 2h 11, or would the selection on one "side" trigger and ACARS for both sides as two messages were generated?

3. This probably rules out intrusion as well?

4. The visitor theory does not fit well with the weather unless they were completely oblivious to the cell. Stated differently are guests appropriate (if at all, of course) when trying to thread the needle with the CB?
