bearfoil, #507
I have a bit of a problem understanding why others don't see this
handover as the "beginning" of things going rapidly pear.
So do I. The first two items in the timeline, page 2 of 4:
2hr, 08, 07, state normal, where the crew decide to detour and reduce
speed, then, a long two minutes later, autopilot and autotrim disengage. So
what happened during those 2 minutes to cause this and initiate the
deadly sequence of events ?.
Load of rubbish in the Sunday Times this morning about a "baby" pilot.
With that and other reports, looks like Air France and the crew are being
setup to take the fall for this one. Of course, the BEA are professional
and dedicated to the task of finding the truth, but may be withholding
data for many reasons. They are under no obligation to report
anything until the investigation is complete, but the latest report looks
as significant in terms of what it leaves out, as what's included. Imho,
of course.
In summary, not enough data and we must all be patient, yet again :-)...
