Does anybody have a link to a reliable report about the february 1991 incident with an A310, where pilot and autopilot were fighting for quite a while when performing a go-around in moscow, resulting in extreme pitchup maneuvres and a bent airplane. I just have the "read somewhere" third source report
Here. Probably the official report is in russian?
Whau would happen if a pilot with low experience on an aircraft type start fighting aginst an autopilot he does not fully understand? Maybe even thinking the abnormal behaviour of the aircraft is due to icing, and not due to a system interfering with his idea of flying the airplane? The A330 crash (there is only one so far) was also related to pilots (Airbus test pilots!!!) not fully understanding all modes and tricks of the autopilot.
Probably the recommendation to fly the aircraft manually under certain conditions makes perfect sense!
