I am now of the view that the BEA 27 Mai release was bordering on mischievous - almost as if they were looking to see if they could fill PPRune with pages of posts (in which they succeeded).
Why did they miss out the obvious discussion early in the event when the a/c started climbing like a rocket above OPT and probably above MAXALT? Any pilot, even just out of training and on line, would know that that could well be be a one-way ticket to the bottom of the Atlantic, and so where is the "What on earth are you doing" from PNF or "I cannot control the attitude" from PF or whatever? Are we to infer from this omission that
a) It did not happen OR
b) That to tell us is less important than the CVR confirmation that they have duff airspeed, which we already know from ACARS?
What are the BEA playing at?
Last question for AB people - does the reported lack of abnormal law mean a software error here or is it possible the AoA vanes had gone west too? The altimeters/VSIs too? For heaven's sake, was the Pitot heat actually working?
