Quote from Nigel on Draft
"6000fpm is the low 30K's is quite possible in an A320, and does not need an "updraft"."
What would the g loading be at this ROC and would envelope protection not say computer says NO.
Likely cause of such ROC must be exceptionally powerfull updrafts in the storm cell.
Can anyone corroborate how far away from the main wreckage the radome was found. In an earlier post someone had mentioned a figure which seemed rather implausible.
