I apologise for the delay of the information required for the simulation, occasioned by AAIB bureaucracy; it is as follows:

All up Weight	17,100 kg
Centre of Gravity	Mid Point of Allowable Range
Mean Sea Level Ambient Pressure	998 mb
Sea Level Ambient Temperature	+9ºC
Sea Level Dew Point Temperature	+9ºC
Initial Impact Point Altitude	800 ft amsl
Estimated Wind near Initial Impact Point	170ºT/30 kt (considerable uncertainty)
Track at Initial Impact	025ºT
Estimated Pitch Attitude at Initial Impact	30º Nose Up
Estimated Flight Path at Initial Impact	20º above the horizontal
Assumed point of DASH and LCTA
Power Supply Loss	At Initial Impact

  While the estimated pitch attitude and flight path are given above, this is not intended to alter the proposed "steady attitude" conditions, ie 20, 30 and 40º pitch, or to stop the data at 20º climb. The Board considers that the information to be provided by the simulator runs proposed by John Kannon are likely to be of considerable value to the investigation. They have requested a number of initial conditions for the proposed series of runs:

Indicated Airspeed	135 and 150 KIAS
Rate of Climb	0, 500 and 1000 ft/min

  It is appreciated that this may impose a factor of six on the number of runs, but hopefully indications from initial runs will preclude a sizeable number of combinations of initial conditions and make the number of cases to be handled manageable.
