IMO, the most important parts of the accident are being ignored, some through ignorance, and some through active effort.
My drum? Again, the intitial 10 seconds (manual), and the ten before.
The crew inherited a maneuvering aircraft, for one or the other of two basic reasons. The AirSpeed was unreliable, or the a/c autopilot was unable to keep up with turbulence. Either way, the a/c was therefore in or on the verge of Upset.
All the interesting blather about an aircraft's performance after the fact is not relevant, it is after the fact. Post Facto.
Actively unaddressed? A rerun WITHOUT TURBULENCE factored in? A lack of notation from BEA re: the "Zipper"?
The further the pendulum swings, the more blatant is this "unknown" zone.
The entire basis for the "conclusions?" Unrelated to the onset of Upset, imho.
Commanded or no, the climb qualifies as Upset. What initiated the Climb?
Crew, in response to instruments.
Ambulance Chasers? Fanatical Toadies? Nil/Nil. fmm.
