Air France crash probe points to pilot error
As we know here, the newspaper headline above results from reading between the lines and cannot yet be relied upon.
Let me pose a hypothetical question to those here.
Suppose it was true that the pilots blundered into a storm for whatever reason, and suppose that the aircraft load limits were not exceeded by the storm encounter.
Now suppose that some aspect of the flight control system's ability to control the aircraft while in the storm
was exceeded and
that led to the loss of control and crash.
Yes there are several suppositions here but as of this moment, these suppositions seem to be still potentially viable. I did post such a flight control possibility several months ago but did not pose the following question at that time.
Would you give the aircraft's control design a pass or a fail if that was the link that "broke" first in the above situation?
