Who said anyone was pulling? There are plenty of examples...
How else do you increase AofA?
What if... a failure led to that degree of back pressure?
I am not for one minute suggesting that in this case just pointing out to the "it did not stall" brigade that, yes it could have and also that FR data is fraught with errors. i have watched it plot an aircraft landing as I saw the aircraft turn during a missed approach, it has predictive algorithms so the speed and direction you see is not always what the aircraft is doing.
I am happy to wait for the FDR/CVR. If that data leaks as quickly as the tech log, I will not have to wait long.
