Too bad your references are based on cvr, just not fdr.
His
intention was to disable A/THR but did he do it ?
NO
When he was going to do it at time 12 41 58 he was distracted or interrupted by a landing gear issue. Thirty seconds on a disconnect switch is a long period. What he did at that time was disconnecting the A/THR, nothing more.
And if he had done it at that time, why does he mention it again at time 12 45 26 when the aircraft is already at 40 feet RA :
Bon, j’vais bien là, débrayer l’auto-manette.
Dozy does not read French, you do, so come up with the BEA quote which would state that the crew in Habsheim had permanently disabled the A/THR.
If they had, I assume it must be clearly stated somewhere in the BEA report …
Memory is not always enough ...
