one theory is that the aircraft was still climbing towards cruise altitude when all control was lost.
a stall, a recovery, and a randomly meandering flight followed.
- TillE 13y agoIt wasn't random, though. It was flying to waypoints.
- tom_morrow 13y agomaybe. adjectives used of the radar data: "inaccurate", "undisclosed". adjectives used of the flight path: "erratic", "uneven", "zigzagging". waypoints are thick as thieves, the odds of a flock of birds not hitting three of them are small. ...plus hitting exactly those waypoints makes no sense: the middle zig should have been skipped as superfluous.
