As previously stated, the A320 is just as dependant on pitch trim for pitch control as the 737.
I cannot confirm or deny that statement, primarily since I have not flown the 737, nor explored these areas in an Airbus.
I would, however, add that Lemurian's
I personally posted that, at least after the first stall, the crew had achieved a recovery, but not completed it.
I agree with, indeed separately come to the same conclusion and posted as such. For a period of time (~5s), they had full power
achieved, full nose-up stab, full nose down elevator, ~100K and attitude reducing and speed increasing. AoB was even under control Therefore I can only conclude, at their weight/CG the elevators were outpowering the full nose up stab + full Power.
There were then some control inputs (let go of full forward stick, applied full rudder in a stall/near stall) that seemed to generate the "departure".
As an aside, I have flown the 757/767 and
You "could" therefore be more peripherally aware of the activity & therefore need for, pitch trim in most phases of flight in a 737
does not apply... it only had the trim switches and a dinky little indicator. You therefore did not see the trim in action. OTOH the A320 (and 340 etc.) do have a trim wheel, and you do see it working. It is not quite so unsubtle as the 737 one, nor has the 737 audio effects
So refering to
I personally posited that, at least after the first stall, the crew had achieved a recovery, but not completed it.
might I ask
Do you see any reason to dispute that simple statement.
