Otelli is not a proof!
re:Ste Odile : Otelli did just forget to say that
1. on the official IAC (instrument approach card) the mountain BLOSS was enlowerd from 2710 FT to 2500 (the airbus was found af 2620 FT!)
2.on the Air France approach chart (non official, not ICAO conform...) the indication "FAF" was missing ,doing mandatory to maintain 3660 FT QNH to 7 NM to STR VOR! (the aircraft has been found at 8.2 NM)
3.obstacles protection for VOR/DME TACAN approach was 15 per cent ground slope for ICAO,French,civilian or military regulations what the aircraft was doing (220 KT, 3300FT/min...
BEA lied "better" : the Lawyers and Judge could just not understand their slang and BEA said nothing about the 15 per cent rule!
Experts of the Court explained the law to the Judge (d'instruction) with Icao texts in english and not official French text (existing) (The Judge Guichard had learned latin and greek, and "english was not his cup of tea"...
Really Reader's Digest is better than Otelli's books
