Can anybody explain the warning systems on Md83 in case,of autothrottle failure?
What was the technical status of the aircraft on departure ?

What are the stall characteristics of the md83? The aircraft seems to have stalled at high altitude, followed by a loss of control, spiral dive and impact.

Swiftair is not known for its great maintenance and care of crews by the way.
They are driving conditions down in the cargo and oassenger acmi world due severe underpricing, crew exploitation ( crews who are often very experienced but also pay to fly cadets) and bare minimum maintenance.
