It should have been abundantly clear to everyone the aircraft was stalled at a high AOA.
Thank you for this. I couldn't find it. I'm not looking at the PFDs, I'm looking at the timer in the upper center of the screen.
02:10:05 Autopilot disconnects. Speed indication unreliable.
02:10:35 Twenty seconds later Pitot 1 deiced.
02:10:46 Thirty seconds later Pitot 2 deiced.
02:11:07 One minute later Pitot 3 deiced, and the plane was back to normal.
However,
02:10:06 ONE second after AP/AT disconnect, and look at the right sidestick and throttles.
Unbelievable.
