If he'd done 6.8 hours IF training in a 76 he should have worked out that you should not be hands flying it in IMC, and certainly not hands flying it in SAS mode with the force trim off. For the life of me I can't see how you can get in a UA in a 76 unless you were flying in SAS and totally not paying attention. Teaching UA's in the 76 on annual recurrent training was never done in SAS, always in ATT with the force trim on. I'd like to know what mode he was flying in to have lost control.
