The cockpit displays only include what is
believed to be Valphaprot and Valphamax according to the FAC ... but such characteristic speeds have theoretical values, and knowing that Asseline was playing in that area, it should have been the most natural thing for the BEA to communicate those values in their report.
This has been discussed extensively earlier in the thread.
Extensively but erroneously - If Vs1g was Valphamax Airbus would not have called Vs1g "stalling speed".
If there is anything that doesn't add up, please be more specific.
I cannot be more specific than that :
How do they or you get identical speed traces for Bechet and Asseline as they adopt so different attitudes ?

Sorry but there is ample way to do it professionally ... or you can always choose to do it unprofessionally.
To add to the misery the gridlines on the plotter paper were, IIRC, printed in a delicate shade of pink, which was great if you were reading directly off the plotter paper but which all but disappeared when passed through the sort of copying machine then available.
Tell me ... is it that same sort of copying machine that swallowed Annexe VII ?
