Note that this flight started its plunge right at or after the outer
marker. The outer marker is where you normally lower gear and flaps.
Lowering flaps is the thing that causes the tailplane stall if the
tailplane is iced up.


Rubbish.


Uhh, which part of this is rubbish?
As I recall from a news account of the FDR, the loss of control was
immediately following gear / flap extension.

If it was the "outer marker is where you normally lower gear and flaps",
well yeah but I'm not sure that's the point.



Doesn't mean the tail stalled, In any case, it's the premature assumptions
that **** me off, right or wrong.
