I don't see why the AP pitched UP due to reducing airspeed. Worse still, it seems clear to me that the pilots had several STALL warnings after AP disengagement and prior to it actually dropping like a brick. What is even more perplexing is given that the pilot arrested the 7000 ft rate of climb, why he then proceeded to apply aft stick input and raise the nose?
Were the altimeters functional? It would appear they were; if so, why didn't this tell them they were actually stalling? As for the THS taking over a minute to get to +13 degrees, suggests the pilot held aft stick input throughout. I'm struggling to comprehend just why he would do that.
