Hello,


@ Willie:

I'd be surprised if holding in the AP Disc button during a pusher event, prevents the pusher from doing it's thing.

But I'll try it and get back to you.


An extract of the pilot reference manual CRJ200:

Stick Pusher Disconnect Features:

The stall protection computer monitors the rate of change of the AOA vane to determine when to disconnect the stick pusher.

The stick pusher can be stopped by pressing and holding either the pilot's or copilot's control wheel autopilot/stick pusher disconnect switch (AP/SP DISC). The stick pusher is capable of operating immediately when the AP/SP DISC swith is released.

Should the SPS incorrectly activate the stick pusher, the stick pusher my be disabled by selecting eigher STALL PTCT PUSHER switch to OFF at the pilot's or copilot's stall protection panel. Both switsches must bei ON for stick pusher activation.
