The perfect crime ?
Either the PF was insane either he could have commited the perfect crime if AF, AB and the BEA had not spent millions to recover the boxes :
The PF managed - volontarly - to :
1/ Preparation of the action
- not to use the anti-icing;
- send the captain to rest yet the capt had a nasty feeling : "Do you (really) have your licence ?"
- unfasten his seat belt;
- disconnect from Rio;
- Not connect to Dakar;
2/ Action
- nose up to stall
- lost the plane
- when the PNF wants to take the command : disconnect his stick without telling him;
- when the PNF understand that the problem lies with the PF: he ask the Captain not for his skills but for his authority ;
- when the captain arrived, the PF had this incredible phrase : "we have the speed of a "fool"" so the captain can't understand the situation;
- when the PF his asked to put the wing "à plat" (horizontal) that clearly shows that the PNF had identify the stall, the PF seems to agree but lie and continue to nose up;
Conclusion : Air France is one of the company where the salaries are the higest in the profession and therefore, the selection is really severe. It is just impossible that a 32 years old qualified pilot had not the skill and the training.
In the contrary, many smart people have tried to kill their wife and suicide... ???
The conclusion of the BEA is to undertake a "psychological" inquiry. Then, the case will go to the Court.
