I think the fly by wire, flight computers, issue is probably the most
significant. The fault indicators show a pattern of electrical
failure, including the computers.

If so, how how did the ACARS mesages continue being transmitted for
some four minutes ? They weren't getting their data from nowhere.

Almost everyone is looking at the ice in the pitot tubes issue which
explains everything much better, not least that Airbus had recommended
replacing them with an improved type and that had not been done on the
accident plane.

Something like 38 or 39 pitot tube 'upsets' have since surfaced on
A330s ( possibly including A340s ) . Not proof but quite damning.

A backup method of indicating IAS is required. The system may be
redundant but has a common-mode failure - icing. That reduces its
redundancy to zero in such situations.



Nope, wrong again fjukkktard.
