My opinion is that micro sleeps usually occur either at times of low psychological arousal such as the cruise or the long drive home, or when seriously tired. Flying an air display you would expect the pilot to be in a high state of psychological arousal and having had a good nights sleep. I pressume the AAIB checked that AH had had sufficient sleep during the previous seven days.
Neither of these senarios fit with regards to microsleep, unless AH was seriously fatigued, which the police and CPS regard these days as a similar offence to driving under the influence.
I hope this puts to rest the microsleep theory.
As for the theories regarding G-LOC, A-LOC, TIA they do not fit either.
