The profile requires an input to achieve a 10° nose down attitude in 1 second, held for 1 second and then returned to a level attitude until 40kts.

If you fly it as it’s designed, it gets you accelerating and climbing away from the ground. The Cat A mode, if selected, will superimpose guide bars onto the power indicator and AI to show you what you need to do and when, it’s not hard to follow. As I mentioned previously, I’d lay a large bet that these guys didn’t know either the profile or the aircraft’s ability to help them out.
