Hello Ka6crpe,

I've based my supposition primarily on the data published from the FDR trace and the FlightRadar24 ADS-B returns, and they seem to roughly correlate. I've only used what I've seen in the videos / stills as secondary data to confirm or discard thoughts based on the other data.

Whilst I've no doubt that the final few seconds involved a deepening stall culminating in wing drop, I don't believe it was flown from TOD in stalled conditions - and I theorised as much yesterday, before the FDR trace was released.

Did you take perspective / parallax aspects into account when you did your visual analysis, and what did you use as your reference point in the vids to derive the angles from? I don't mean to dismiss your thoughts at all - you could easily be right and I wrong, in a paucity of a complete data set.

Happy to discuss...
