What told the AP and AT to disconnect?
Final report:
1.16.3.1 Analysis of the initial sequence
Analysis of the FDR parameters and of the data contained in the two FMGECs’ nonvolatile memories showed that:
ˆˆ The ADR 2 speed fell between 2 h 10 min 03.5 et 2 h 10 min 05;
ˆˆ the ADR 1speed fell for less than one second from 2 h 10 min 04 s to 2 h 10 min 05, causing:
- the disconnection of the autopilot,
- the triggering of “PITOT PROBE” monitoring in the FCPC causing the transition to alternate 2B law;
ˆˆ The ADR 3 speed fell temporarily from 2 h 10 min 07 s to 2 h 10 min 10 s, causing, in the following second, the loss of autothrust and the disappearance of the Flight Directors; it then fell again at 2 h 10 min 14,
ˆˆ The speed on ADR 1 fell again at about 2 h 10 min 08 s, causing the loss of the autothrust and of the flight directors within the next second.
