Pontius's Copilot
Re the capture sequence, yes, thought so - it only makes sense of course.
However, if APPR had been selected it is just possible that the localiser was captured (known as LOC*) just as the aircraft passed through the 'bad glideslope' signal referred to in #699, thus the aircraft/autopilot could then pitch up as it apparently did.
Yes, seen it and experienced it. Not an issue really - quick disconnect etc, but I agree with Clandestino - 30deg pitch-up would not ordinarily be commanded - more like a couple or three degrees at most - five would be a
lot.
