I had assumed that the use of the term WIND IN referred to using the Trim Wheel- AFTER using cutout switch ( PRI and/or BKU ) leaving only hand crank. I recall that in an earlier issue of AV week. such was tried in an actual flight starting at 14 to 20 K AGL by pilot(s) who knew what to expect and why and how. The loss of altitude was about 8000 feet to get to level flight.
And from memory, at no time did lion or ethopia get over 5K AGL
Please correct me with links- AV week was in april or may I believe
Point is pilots did not know of HAL or that it would/could repeat.
