Earlier, my speculation was to point out the possibility that there may be a way to at least qualify, and hopefully quantify, the rain observations (and occasional absence of same) from the published reports and witness statements.
The statements and reference documents here and on the "Aerofoils in heavy rain" thread suggest the possibility of other cheese holes, at least one of which needs to be robustly filled: -
- The temperature and pressure sensor performance, affecting data accuracy; leading to one or more of
- Aircraft flight control (margins) becoming degraded
- Engine control may become degraded – margin reductions in auto-relight, idle setting, acceleration schedule(s) and handling bleed (water centrifuging)
