Observation
Instructors described Hanjour as a weak trainee; official account has him flying AA77's last manoeuvre.
Interpretation
Tension, not a demonstration of remote control. Relevant to H014 only as a weak prior.
Source text
OBSERVATION: Training records are poor; the identified man is still the Commission's pilot. Alternative investigators argue the manoeuvre exceeded his skill and implies remote control or a different pilot. A poor student can still point a jet at a large building at the end of a suicide mission. The skill-gap is a real record, not a proof of remote control.
Hypothesis linkage
Hanjour skill-gap as a weak prior on a different pilot/remote control.
