Yesterday when posting the FDR traces for the Jetstar A330 incident, I mulled over the static port problem, then looked at the ECAM messages and realized that the sequence of events was very similar to AF447. So, getting back to the TCAS fail message, I'm starting to feel that the ALT supplied to the Transponder changed at a rapid rate, i.e. the speed correction value changed, and the TCAS determined the rate of change wasn't valid and shut-up shop.

Do you think that could fit the bill?
