Boy there is some crap in here!!
Now read my lips:- In Alternate Law the aircraft flies basically like normal BUT without most protections. It doesn't use pitch trim for pitch!!
ALTERNATE 1. You can barrel roll the beast
ALTERNATE 2. You can barrell roll AND loop the beast.
( I may have these two backwards!! )
I've tried my Garmin GPS in the cockpit of the 330 and the 777 and it takes along time to log on to the satellites and drops out easily. This is most likely due to the thick gold lined heated windows and all the RF interference in the cockpit.
Now I don't mean to be disrespectful of the deceased but there has been enough information from Airbus and Boeing concerning these type of events for these guys to have learned from the past and prepared themselves accordingly. They either didn't know how to revert to "basics" or they were just slack....( ie they weren't famiar with their QRH )
