Instruments at all?
The PF reaction is typical of a pilot flying IMC with no instruments at all, or no reliable basic instruments at all.
How come a huge airline transport aircraft can come down just because the computers gave up after a false airspeed indication?
I have the impression the pilots lost all the information they needed to maintain attitude. Worse, they had their displays going crazy on them...
BEA is clearly "inducing" public opinion to believe the pilot did wrong.
We only see on the report parts that makes us believe the aircraft responded accordingly. They insisted on the "PF kept commanding pitch up" thing.
They (BEA) are trying to make us beleive that the only thing that failled were the pitot probes. The pilots "messed up" after the perfect AP disengaged...
Not what I see. I see pilots struggling to fly an uncontrolable airplane, with no attitude indication, at night with no horizon.
I don't believe the pilot would command aft stick knowing his nose was already up. Not even a student pilot would do this.
The aircraft went crazy on them.
Why?
