Perhaps Dozy. However so much of this still doesn't quite make sense. I am certainly not insisting there was a electrical fault. But I am wondering if it is possible.

I just find the timing odd. Confusion about whether PNF had adjusted the A/C. An ozone smell. A significant rise in cockpit temperature. And then a minute later UAS and autopilot drops out.

Yes the explanation could be an updraft of warmer air associated with Cb. This could have produced an ozone smell in the cockpit, and may conceivably have resulted in a transient rise in cockpit temperature. No comment about an updraft or turbulence at that time however.

2 h 08 min 27 It’s me who just changed to max eh
Any idea what PNF is saying here? Radar??

2 h 08 min 44 it’s ozone that’s it we’re alright
Was PF worried about something at that time?
