AF447

Disclaimer: I am not involved in any aspect of flight aside from being on occasional SLF.

I've been reading this thread for quite some time now and, aside from the obvious non-informed conjecture, have found it truly informative. Again, I applaud all you professionals who take to the air currents!

One thing I have not seen mentioned which I want to throw out (again, as an uninformed member of the seated public) is some references I have seen to incidents with the 300-series of uncommanded nose-down issues.

could this possibly be related to AF447??? It would seem to me that if
the aircraft entered a nose-down profile whilst entering, or within, extreme
turbulence then this might have an adverse impact on flight control???

Again, it's merely conjecture on my part which I'm throwing out to you professionals.

Thanks.
