However, from page 169 “the complex analysis of all the information available, stated above, is the evidence that, most probably, both the intense forward repositions of the control column up to the initiation of the stabilizer trim to nose-down and the trim itself, had not been attributable to the PF (the PIC) having been affected by the “pitch-up” illusion.”
“… the investigation team is of the opinion that the potential occurrence of the somatogravic “pitch-up illusion” did not have crucial importance as far as the onset of the accident situation is concerned. In the progress of the accident situation the pitch-up illusion might have had some impact on the long-time keeping the trim switches pressed to nose-down.”
The issue of trim and continued forward pitch is discussed in the primary thread on the accident -
