Data that the BEA (collected on the flight data recorder)

Okay. Not very clear or specific but I understand what you meant.

"Raw" data is understood as binary data which is the form it arrives at the recording equipment in from various aircraft systems and sensors; the flight data we are accustomed to viewing has been translated by proprietary software into engineering units.

As A33Zab has previously, correctly observed and which apparently still requires emphasizing, because no consumer software is capable of processing flight data, there will always be the accusation that the data has been in some fashion manipulated upstream of any software that is capable of displaying the data. The decades-long nonsense over Habsheim abundantly illustrates this fact.
