Cool

Hi,

So presumably you'd have preferred the software to decide this wasn't allowed and roll off the trim - despite the input from the pilot demanding nose up? You really can't have it both ways now, can you? On the one hand half the crowd here are screaming for the head(s) of the software programing team for removing so much 'authority' from the crew, and here we have a request for the software to "decide" that the crew demand was unhealthy - even if it *was* unhealthy, are you sure you want additional laws and protections? Given that the aircraft has an auto-trim system, it appears to have been operating as expected, given the commands from the crew?
I understand that
Nevertheless the question was not about the first input .. but about a timing (3.5 minute)
3.5 minutes at 13° climb (about the max obtainable) position for the horizontal stabilizer with many other parameters complety jammed
How manage this by software (protection) is another story
Just a tought.
