In the accident flight the wind was light and variable (5 kt +/- 2kt headwind component)
Yes, the atmosphere was
calm.
Just before hitting the trees, the DFDR recorded RA was 24 ft, possibly even less because the recorded values are rounded to the nearest 2 ft.
Not what is in the report text and not what is on the graph you're commenting ...
1.11.4.
Les points les plus bas de la trajectoire sont à une hauteur voisine de 30 pieds : entre 12 h 45 mn 32 s et 12 h 45 mn 39 s la radiosonde indique 32, 32, 32, 32, 30, 30, 24 et 34 pieds (une valeur par seconde).
How do you explain again such confusion in the report ... ?
