BOAC
Q2: Is it correct that while (handflying) in AL(1) the FCC would adjust pitch (nose-down) if it sensed a large drop in airspeed towards the stall, or is AoA the over-riding trigger?
In ALT 1:
PITCH ATT is lost, HIGH AOA on ALT, but lost at loss of weight or slat/flap pos. failure.
Hope this helps as well
