Something I'd not noticed before on that FDR data - not sure it's been remarked on. At the VERY end of the trace, the stab is seen to apparently move a long way back towards to trim state. Given the compressed scale, it's not possible to see if that is a "final instant" artifact and not "real" or if there's an actual slope to the stab trace. If it's "real" it indicates that the stab remained under the potential for crew control throughout the flight to the very end, and that the ratcheting prior to that was not "uncorrectable".
