Loose Rivets - please review last couple of pages of comments and explain your latest. How does fuel flow have anything to do with this event???
I've read every post, including of course the bulk of the ones modded out.

What I'm uncertain about, and in part, that was the point of posting, was the validity of the graph. However, the other parameters seem to tally.

As for what they have to do with the event is fairly straightforward. The taps were opened to a high fuel flow at the time of the vigorous climb in the last moments. I wondered just how great the effect on pitch may have been. I also wondered if such a huge change in power may have been to counter a ND event. (although I suspect it would have shown up as an actual descent.) If it was an intentional attempt to augment rotation, it would infer that there may have been another factor, and they were far more ahead of the game than we have given them credit for.
