HN39,
did you noticed this sentence?
page10:
"Suddenly the aircraft began to climb, the Master Warning sounded and the autopilot self-disengaged as the aircraft exceeded the speed limit of 0.86 Mach."
This sound quite different later.
There is a drop in pitch (down) exactly at the same time as the overspeeding event. I'm not sure that Airbus was so involved in the wording of the report. They would have answered the specific questions from the investigators, no more.
What bother me is that an AoA protection would increase the AoA in this case. For what effect beside adding some drag and slowing down in the climb?
