As a (slight) aside, the captain's armrest - if accurately shown - is at an absurd position.

As a 330 instructor and examiner for very many years, I have only seen one captain have the armrest in a similar position and we had a very comprehensive conversation about it.

The armrest is to support the arm, to allow the wrist and hand free movement, not to act as an elbow fulcrum.

It should be about horiz with a bit of nose-down and as high or low as you like.

If he had been taught properly, or listened if he were, this accident would never have happened.

Was an Airbus expert at the CM to confirm this?
