"outside of discussion about the aircraft being airborne at all"
This is what I refer to when I mentioned the lack of IAC top cover previously. It has nothing to do with the mechanics of the accident but it is a contributing factor towards why R116 was launched in the first place.
Update re Blackrock Island: An "area of interest" has been identified on Blackrock by the AAIU.
