No, Flashair prang was the one I was thinking about, but A37575 is correct, there was nothing wrong with the Captains AH in the official report.
My incorrect recollection was from the "air crash investigation" program where the Egyptian investigators were initially pushing the crook AH theory.
The sad part is that the other two crew knew what was happening and could not, or did not do anything about it.
As Centaurus says, a lesson for all. I highly rate his book too!
