Reply to VGMC66 post #741 ... ref high altitude/weight buffet boundaries
VGCM66 - well said. And a fine Flight article too.
AF447's initial altitude drift went virtually unchallenged
Please see post #1386 on 3 AUG 11 which seeks the figures for AR447 buffet boundary at the time of the accident. They were clearly exceeded and the inevitable aerodynamic upset resulted.
Has anyone listed these relevant AF447 Flight Manual figures yet?
