Also, for the 100th time THEY WERE NOT IN FLCH.
The NTSB said they were last in VS-1500
Not quite- The NTSB said one of the Pilots reported they selected V/S -1500 at an earlier stage of the approach.
They have not said what mode the FDR revealed they were in at the time of the crash.
FLCH with the PFs F/D off would fit the facts very nicely.
If they were in V/S and thus the A/T was is SPD, why didn't A/T wake-up happen?
