    It doesn’t seem like you’re familiar with the sequence of events in the crash.

    The switches moved from run to cut off - who knows why. I believe the pilots did it, you believe it’s the detents.

    The pilots then moved them from cutoff to run.

    The switches stayed in run throughout the entire crash sequence. If the detents were bad before, why would they not be bad again here?

    If the detent failed when they moved from run to cutoff during climb out, it would have also failed during the crash sequence, when significantly higher forces were experienced.

    I’ll keep speculating until the final report is out.

      I don’t believe it’s the detents. I don’t have an opinion because I’m not speculating. I’m adding that based on the hardware it’s possible that the exact statement you made is wrong. I’m not familiar with the parts list nor am I type rated to fly that particular plane.
