Missed this earlier. There’s an error in your second calculation; according to the velocity numbers given the FPA at 2000’ is -62°, which would explain why the V/S does not change significantly.

(For interest, the number you calculated would have correlated to a 5G pull during those 3 seconds, which if continued might have had them on track to escape, just... it would certainly have shown up on the V/S plot).
