@ Jet Jockey A4
I do mention that possibility in my post (#210) on page 11.
Yes you did....I see now
You seem to know this aircraft well. Is the pusher inhibited at low altitude (less than maybe 200' AGL or so) like it is in some other jets? Without researching I don't know if this is a certification thing or just a manufacturer option.
A lot of wild speculation here (as usual) but this is one thing that could be dismissed if it's set up like that.
NTSB investigators do sit around and brainstorm throwing crazy theories out there into the mix just like people in this thread. The difference is they do it in private and only one designated person is allowed to funnel information out to the public in a controlled manner. Shooting down a colleagues theory is part of the process to isolate the plausible from the implausible.
In this case I think the details of how they crashed are less important than the fact they were trying to land at all.
