Every once in a while I encounter a discussion that's a false positive hit against the typical notion of the sensationalist clueless media, and this is one of them. Nobody minding the store while it's plummeting (yes, plummeting) at 4300fpm below 1500 feet, finally to be woken up by WHOOP WHOOP PULL UP. Yes that is indeed a serious incident, and all of you pooh poohing it should imagine yourself in that circumstance, on a dead head or commute! Still "nothing to see here?"
That aside, can you have active FD modes on the Q with the FD hidden? That's the only possibility I can see, that can explain this. If the FD was set in a mode captured at zero altitude, and showing the severe nose down command to achieve that, who in their right mind would engage the autopilot?
