Thanks CJ. Do you remember a few weeks back when everyone just wanted the cvr as it would answer everything ! Can understand the editing, but it would help if BEA explained their policy to what they were showing and not showing. A simple <expletive> mark in the transcript would help show tension without loss of anyone's integrity.
Still don't know what the PNF and PF knew about their initial altitude excursion, think it is important as the failure of the Captain to be made aware of the climb is I think crucial to his failure to appreciate what the situation was. If they didn't know, then their failure to brief him wasn't a separate failure on their parts.
As for AoA sensor #1, well it could be a bit of ice counterbalancing I suppose but I rather expected to be told that it was likely due to an airflow issue owing to its location and the unusual wind vector.
