And if you could please point me towards the relevant sections in the AAIB report detailing these matters?
That would be very helpful.
Thank you.
The AAIB report identified insufficient thrust during the upward part of the loop as a causal factor.
While it did not definitively attribute that to a mechanical defect, it concluded that "an uncommanded reduction in thrust during the accident manoeuvre could not be ruled out".
