The A330 which crashed in Toulouse was on a test flight with an a/c std not released for service.The test in question should have been performed at a much higher altitude than the second segment scenario at which the single engine failure was initiated (and held intentionally with speed decaying rapidly).Nick Warner was within a couple of hundred feet of recovery.The A320 allegedly had multiple protection systems disabled and the CVR recorded the captain commenting about how his chief pilot would be unimpressed with his configuration.
