GarageYears; Perhaps you misunderstood my question. I was inquiring whether maximum nose-up for 3.5 minutes was considered acceptable by the software and whether or not the PF should have been made aware of that fact (although he probably had more than enough software output to handle). The pilot should be making the final decision but when a computer puts a flight control in an extreme position for a considerable time (not directly by his command) it might be helpful for him to know what he's fighting.
