Objection
Recceguy,
Even from the lofty heights of your test-pilot abilities you should be able to see that following the applicable "SOP" would have given the low-life autopilot operators enough altitude and time to get out of the system-failure induced stall. I am sure the "human material" deemed worthy of testing aircraft beyond normal limits follow a well thought out plan, the same as TRI/TRE's usually do on their "test-flights". Stray from the program and invite disaster, seems quite simple to me, but then again, I am not a test pilot...
