I note, on reflection, that the 45 degree off-set heading at MAP for 30 is a timing manouver of 35 seconds including the turn which takes you out 1.4 nautical miles at 180 knots and well within "protected" airspace (if my memory serves me).
There is no indication on the CVR that clocks were pushed and confirmed "both sides". That should have been loud and clear.
That's right, report stated on this stage maneuver was done in NAV mode, not HDG as prescribed. Furthermore, CF, the waypoint on final derived from FMGS (and used as referenced for building other PBD waypoints for NAV mode) was located on extended runway centerline 5 NM from threshold thus inherently bringing aircraft outside of protected airspace for circling approach.
