Is it Possible the pilots thought, given their increased speed, HAL would not mess w their stabilizer?
Yet another reason why what was actually happening was not something they imagined?
STS is active from 100 KIAS to Mach 0.68. Would have to be really booking it at 5000 feet to be near the speed for STS to not be active.
