There have been half a dozen crashes in the last 15 years cause by

I can only think of one very probable (German Wings[*]) and one possible
(MH370). Can you give references for the rest?

[*] AFAIK the only evidence so far is from the cockpit voice recorder,
reporting that nothing was said inside the cockpit during the descent or
that terrain proximity warnings were triggered. So at present, I'm not
inclined to accept that as more than very probable cause until data from
the hardware monitoring black box(es) confirm intentional control use
and/
or that the terrain proximity warning was disarmed. One report had words
to the effect that 'the autopilot was reset from 38,000 ft to 100 ft' but

I've not seen anything to show this is anything but some reporter's
imagination.

Martin,
Have a look at the flightradar 24 forum,
http://forum.flightradar24.com/threa...lysed-the-raw-
data-from-the-transponder-of-4U9525-and-found-some-more-data
They detail how this was found and have also released the raw data so
anyone can check it.
Ben.
