Part 6/9:

In the aftermath of this near-miss, an urgent investigation was launched by the French Bureau of Investigation and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety (BEA). Preliminary analyses pointed to a series of miscommunications and errors in judgment from the cockpit crew. During the descent, the first officer had engaged in inputs that caused the unexpected left bank, yet seemed unaware of his aircraft's movements. When the captain took over for the go-around, he failed to communicate this transition, leading to a dangerous overlap in their actions.
