Good to see some interesting, specific points raised.
Following on from your point about the possible blackness of the ADI picture, given that the commander had reduced pitch quickly to the 13 deg nose down, any thoughts on why, with a more familiar picture now on the ADI, he did not pull back further on the cyclic over those final 6 seconds? Do you think he could have thought he was around that 5 -10 pitch down attitude that was in the OM for an IMC GA?
Or was the real issue that this was not fundamentally a GA, but a recovery from a (very) unusual attitude at a very low height and that the prescribed GA attitude was not relevant?
