Indeed it is little suspicious. From the begining the words of 2nd pilot are discussed, but appearing the command of captain is very suprised. It looks litle like trick to to prove that there was no pressure to land from VIP pax. Poles need to clean their exponents.
Au contraire, mon capitaine.

Both MAK an the Polish report assumed, that the increase of the descent rate mentioned above was intentional. Me thinks they are wrong, and it was inadvertent.
We know that AP should not be used that way, because it is not a very precise way of driving the bus.
Now, what would happend, if my explanation of why we can clearly hear the GA from the FO and in PIC's case an audio analysis was needed, was correct.
If PIC at that precise moment addressed the man standing behind, how would it affect its control over that AP wheel?
