Hmmm, maybe I misinterpreted your post. If that is the case, I do apologise.
I understood your post pointing to a non-functioning of attitude indication.
And that is where I get a bit sick and tired reading it time and again, although there is not the slightest indication that IR and thereby attitude information was lost.
And the description of the attitude during descent aboslutely points in the same direction. The attitude was always rather level. In all axis btw.
Ok there was a 40° bank at one point which the pilots tried to correct immediately. This confirms they had suitable attitude information.
Aircraft in IMC where Attitude information is lost arrive in a totally different way.
Absolutely totally different....
My feeling is the thing was seemingly somehow under control, seemingly missing only one piece in the puzzle, the trajectory.
I'm afraid these poor guys never really figured out their effective flight path and speed through the air. Being lost in warnings, seemingly benign attitude and physical sensations and strange instrument indications.
