PIA A320 Crash Karachi
Some of the best leaks comes from Embassies. Also I am trying to imagine the delicate balance BEA would need to hold in case an airline (not AF obviously) put the reputation of Airbus at stake -like the "XX Air Airbus crash" where XX Air did every possible (or almost) mistake leading to an avoidable crash.
Plus a very sad death on the ground, which I had missed. Apologies if this is a repost.

Airbus communicated the following to all operators last night:
”Based on the preliminary analysis of the available data (accident site information, ATC records, FDR and CVR data), Airbus has no specific safety recommendations to raise at this stage of the investigation.“

This statement says a lot. It means there wasn't any technical problem.

Is there any additional warning going off specifically if you attempt to land at a higher speed in the Airbus? Notwithstanding that in this case they circumvented application of the landing gear.

Interesting point. Bridgestone provides a uniform tire rating for A300 up to A321neo at 225mph ~ 195.5kn: https://www.bridgestone.com/products...plications.pdf

A normal fit person who has had a (usually copious) meal at, let's say 22;00 and six hours of good sleep will NOT be hypoglycemic when they wake up. Their blood glucose should be towards the low end of normal and will actually rise somewhat as they get busy. The body has plenty of glycogen reserves in the liver and muscles. If they continue to fast they may get thirsty after a few hours, but that'll do them no harm. I reckon that it would be at least 36 hrs before their blood glucose started to fall to such degree that they cannot fly a modern aircraft safely. They'd certainly be hungry.
I certainly done gigs like that and never felt faint, though you can't keep sharp indefinitely!
In an open boat, three days without any water, three weeks without any food is about the human limit
So I don't take that Ramadan stuff seriously, unless they were complete wimps.

This is an exemplary demonstration of how to do it right.
The BEA report simply notes that there are no technical issues that need to be addressed. Any implications are left to the reader.

And in the end, the truth was somewhat different. BEA, I'll take a listen to. AB? Maybe with a grain of salt.
That said, if I were to bet a notional 100 dollars in Las Vegas, I'd not be betting on "it was broken" as a first roll of the dice.
