hi there,

I be an uneducated SLF type,

Question: the report says that-
at 2:10:51 ..."
The trimmable
horizontal stabilizer (THS) passed from 3 to 13 degrees nose-up in about 1 minute and
remained in the latter position until the end of the flight."


at 2:12:02 ...
"Around fifteen seconds later, the PF made pitch-down inputs. In
the following moments, the angle of attack decreased, the speeds became valid again and the
stall warning sounded again."

Why did the indication of the THS NOT change in accordance with the pilot input???

Am I way off base here?? Confused???

cheers
Phil
