It was established some time back that the 367 foot difference in recorded altitude was an anomaly. I buy that, but remember the crew had no knowledge of that.

I'll leave it to others to review the data. For the record, the PITCH was accurate, at '0', the altitude was displayed as 200 feet low, and the speed? The Roll correction was met with 'twitchy' response, the airmass was turbulent, the cockpit noise was unknown (sic), etc. Weather, Dark, Surprise, mind how you go.

I'll simply remind everyone that you were not there, and I venture to say that the upset found its beginning in the initial handoff. Look at some of the actual (inertial) vertical data points, remember the conditions, and try to avoid judgment of the outcome based on the initial record......
