Hi there
In the Air Caraïbes case (I am a bit monomaniac but we have a real time sequence described there, not seen through the ACARS):
22h22mn59s: CAS & Mach plunged from 273 to 85 kts, from Mach 0.80 to 0.26, altitude dropped from 35000 ft to 34700 ft.
in the same instant: FD1/2 and A/P 2 disengaged, red ECAM msg "AUTO FLT AP OFF" (master warning+cavalry charge), and 6 new ECAM msg, among them (in the order given by the report): F/CTL ADR DISAGREE, F/CTL ALTN LAW, F/CTL RUD TRV LIM FAULT, AUTO FLT REAC W/S DET FAULT,... The SPD LIM (and red flag) are also displayed on the two PFD.
the next event in the chronology occurred at 22h23mn36s (STALL), but these msg appeared at 22h22mn59s to the pilots in a matter of a few seconds.
