Svarin, yes I recall that you raised the 'wrg' report some time ago without getting much response. Your opinion on the apparent NU inputs ?

Probabilities are just that but the CVR would make it clear:

Option 1: one rare failure plus maybe large sub-optimal response (not proven)
Option 2: two independant rare failure plus maybe small sub-optimal response (not proven).

Time will tell.

Perhaps significant attention was being paid to trying to get the autopilot and or computers back on line (you have already suggested this some while back). I noticed in the N Atlantic upset, the report seemed to indicate that hand flying was started only after attempts to re-engage the autopilot failed. Seemed the wrong way round to me. Note I am SLF with perhaps too much to say, so hope no offence.

Edit: Didn't BEA also say something along the lines that the a/c systems were not at fault (excluding pitots one assumes).
