(7,621 posts)3. there is also a flight path study for 93
antitsa complained that the Specialist's Factual Report was tough sledding -- and it is.
The Flight Path Study can be obtained via this link.
From approximately 10:00 to 10:02 there were four distinct control column
inputs that caused the airplane to pitch nose-up (climb) and nose-down (dive)
aggressively. During this time the airplane climbed to about 10,000 feet while
turning to the right. The airplane then pitched nose-down and rolled to the right
in response to flight control inputs, and impacted the ground at about 490 knots
(563 mph) in a 40 degree nose-down, inverted attitude. The time of impact was
10:03:11.
antitsa's questions aren't very clear, so it's hard to know how to address them.
ETA: As slipperyslope points out, the NTSB didn't do a regular accident report. "The airplane then pitched nose-down and rolled to the right in response to flight control inputs" provides a clue about the apparent cause of the crash.

I didn't speculate about whether it was "reasonable", just affirmed there was no NTSB report

OK, then, your "allegedly" sounds like a "I've already made up my mind, thanks" kinda "allegedly"
