PF: J’ai un problème c’est que j’ai plus de vario là
I have a problem it's that I no longer have vertical speed
CAP: D’accord
OK
PF: J’ai plus aucune indication
I no longer have any indication
Apologies if I have missed an explanation earlier, but why would PF think he had lost the vertical speed? That indication essentially relies on static pressure readings which should not have been impaired. I'm wondering if the high AOA is causing more indications to be disabled than we suspected.
