Thanks TD I have. Both you and Dozy are absolutely correct. Save one: At its completion, the Final Report is not given to the Judge, it is provided EASA, isn't it? Thence to parties deemed important by the authority. BEA has no power, they are "Party to" ?
HazelNuts39. Sorry, I just wanted to know your opinion re: its availibility to PF, not his reaction to it. Your response is perfect. From it, I conclude the zipper may have held his attention as to V/S and influenced his inputs, perhaps well into the "climb". My opinion only.
Further, the display of V/S select, appearing (post a/p loss) "erratic", may actually have been accurate, but further confused the pilot as to his "climb".
I only suggest that the "zipper" can't just be discarded as irrelevant.....
Had he not judged his V/S accurately, how was he to suss his actual ROA?
