Chocks, the aircraft was rotated rapidly shortly before impact and struck tail first, perhaps the fadec did this as well? Poltergeist, the AM's did take the responsibility, John Day knew what he was talking about, he commanded a SH sqn in NI, I served under him on it, I also instructed both these pilots. I do not wish to blame, but, by the same token I cannot accept this 'they must not be held responsible because it might upset some'. The impact evidence, rotor pitch settings etc, etc, all indicated a high speed controlled impact?
