As before, the unanswerable "what was he seeing" during this time segment comes to mind.
You can present the "triangle" in many forms, but you need to know conclusively two sides to ensure an understanding of the third.
The thousands of posts in many PPRuNe threads on the subject have traversed this fundamental triangle many times and from many angles, and all propositions inevitably involved guesstimates of at least one side and probably two. The BEA's final take on the same problem will most likely also fall into this great "unknown".
What bothers me most at this point, is the obvious disconnect between both co-pilots and their failure to observe SOPs in even an elementary form. So my conclusion is that this "disconnect" went beyond the confines of the cockpit and may well have involved all three of the flight deck crew.
Yes, just another triangle.
SM - Well, I wasn't referring to that, but if it helps solving the "problem", then use it.
