Lu Zuckerman: The AD blames the pilots for mismanagement of the fuel problem.
Actually, no. What the AD (at least in this translation) says is:-
The inquiry revealed that fuel management by the crew directly contributed to the total loss of the fuel.
That much seems to be uncontroversial. Whether that "management" amounted to "mismanagement" or not, and according to what instructions or standards that should be decided, is something which the AD carefully avoids, as one would expect.
