Hi,

Quote:
So before 2h10min07sec speeds were consistent. So why 2h10min05sec to the autopilot and auto-thrust and disengage the OP says "I have control"? The autopilot had disengaged while he speeds were consistent?

This BEA note can't be a serious one to elaborate any scenarios from it
Disagree, suggest you read the report closely again.

The aircraft, and it's systems (AP etc.) work from 3 airspeed sources. The FDR only records 2 of those. So prior the 2:10:07 any observations / system anomalies would be down to the 3rd (unrecorded) speed source.
It's no matter of airspeed sources or what is recorded or not .. it's simply matter of timing described by BEA.
The numbers are there black on white .. no need of "what if" or or complicated scenarios
Make the maths ... it's simple arithmetic ... and something is wrong ..
