Since the only major fault found in this incident (so far) is that the fuel prime and transfer switches were reversed from what would be expected in normal operations, the psychological factors that led to them being left that way until the engines flamed out are important. Why wasn't the mis-configuration picked up? Why wasn't the fuel display interpreted correctly? Why were the visual and audio alerts not actioned correctly? These are important issues and in the absence of evidence for mechanical failure we are left with trying to determine why the pilot did not carry out the appropriate drills.
Have you read the report?
