It's hindsight being 20/20. It's quite ignorant pointing to precursor incidents as proof that the big one could have been predicted and prevented. It is not as if Thales probes getting blocked was the only problem on 330/340 fleet. In real life hundreds of incidents happen every day, just a few developing into emergency and very, very small fraction of them leading to disaster. Out of thirty-something UAS in 330, only one involved damage and injuries.

What are you basing your feeling on?

In what manner?

So? Do you believe higher resolution would yield completely different picture?

Why? It is perfectly clear aeroplane responded to control inputs, too aft CG would accelerate demise by a second or fraction thereof but it would be pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

What for? Engines work as advertised. What difference would oil quantity or ITT margin make on stall event?

Actually reading the report would help to dispose of this nonsense. There are three different timescales included in the report.

Since this is not law but aeronautical forum, I'll concentrate on flying aspects: little pilot guy is best protected when he knows and understands his aeroplane and medium he is traveling through. Failure to do so more often causes his demise than anything else.

If we take for granted that you or anyone on your short list can indeed do more for aviation safety than officially appointed expert teams, well then there really would be no reason.
