How are the altitudes and "AS" derived by BEA? Inertial? Certainly from the DFDR? How accurate is the "start" Alt.? With great respect, no possibility of gigo?
Perhaps germane is the 'ability' of BEA (or any retrospective) to suss solid data from an airframe that may not have supplied it to the only people who matter? If this is so, and ATF boffins can determine data that would have saved the day, perhaps we should wonder why? No offense intended.
Inherent in any device that can "unwind" a puzzle, is the implied chasm between "best practice" and "Failsafe"? In there also is the "acceptable" risk?
Internist: Knows everything, does nothing
Surgeon: Knows nothing, does everything
Pathologist: Knows everything, does everything, but too late.
