TD. PITCH AND POWER was used, and it kept them stalled. Reducing thrust would not have helped? You are strict on sequence, did you not get my point?
Reducing thrust and pushing the stick forward would not have recovered the flight path, according to BEA, unless you maintain that this crew was exceptionally clever, and not average Line. So yes, the issue was they were lost at STALL, the rest is truly irrelevant to the accident, but not to us....
Why do you bring up TWA800, it is insulting. I am no conspiracist. You think listening to the entire CVR would add nothing to the PUBLIC perception of the pilots' actions? Now that is truly remote.
In saying that prior events should be isolated from the one we see, I am speaking of crew action, it is always the problem, since humans can and do misunderstand, make huge blunders (727-200). What did the crew do that was unique? Mechanically, the idea is that repetition is far more insightful, machines do not take abstract thought, and are of course different in that it requires a differ and unique analysis for recommendations.
Sad for this flight that the FDs were not turned off? It is outrageous, in my opinion. I am of the opinion that the crew were unaware they dealt with UAS for precious seconds, and made decisions based on their belief that NORMAL LAW obtained, and this is what started the crucial disconnect between the PF SS and actual PITCH.
The sidestick conveys no information, either by position or feel, and losing track of one's inputs over time can be profoundly confusing. Without an instrument to track PITCH, ( And there is NO instrument for AoA data) , the a/c was utterly doomed. Now people say that PITCH data was available, but there is no positive proof, and it is not disallowed to consider that the pilots were put in the weeds by a partial, or missing, panel full of reliable data.
May I see an artifact or image that shows an horizon? I'll wait.
Yes theory. I take your point re: practical realities. Are you saying the BEA report is a compromise? It is, but I would not mind hearing it from you, you are esteemed from my vantage point, and not without good reason!
