Final report on QF72 incident, Oct 2008
(Original thread on this has been closed, so...)

The ATSB has released their final report on the October 2008 incident where QF74, an Airbus A330, nose-downed twice during cruise near Learmonth, WA.

In short, combination of a single faulty ADIRU, along with a software bug that acted upon the data from that faulty unit despite the other 2 ADIRU's returning valid data.

Good analysis at http://www.avherald.com/h?article=40de5374/0010&opt=0
