MD80 Fanatic
The article I read stated he was adjusting speed to prevent overspeed alarms from sounding.
Incorrect. the BEA site states that
"à plusieurs reprises au cours de la descente, le pilote a modifié le réglage du pilote automatique pour augmenter la vitesse..." in English
"several times during the descent the pilot adjusted the automatic pilot to increase the speed..." (emphasis added).
