Thanks, that is working

2:13:53. From Captain. "(so wait) AP OFF". Sound of selector.....

Whether or not the a/p was engaged, apparently, the selector was ON. Seems a poor result that may upset or interrupt, or lengthen, the attempt to recover flight path.

If the crew rejected STALL from the very first chirp, the campaign against it for the rest of the descent makes sense, the WARNING was actively ignored. IS there no CB to eliminate the perceived distraction? Why carry on listening to something deemed an enemy of recovery?

Is there a linked circuit that shows a conflict in the a/p channel? Because as important as the system is, it would seem imperative to extinguish a false
display...is this in the report?

Not one mention of the STALL WARN by anyone of the three? Challenges credulity.

Jcjeant, you follow the trial? Has anyone formally challenged the BEA to supply the full CVR, with audio? Seems an obvious course of action, the part released to the public challenges common sense, not to mention airmanship...
