As a mere SLF this is all very interesting but I don't understand why, if faced with an altimeter winding down, the instinct isnt to put the nose of the a/c into the windstream. If control authority isn't there well unwind the THS ( as per Schipol, not) and if that doesn't work put it to idle, and if that doesn't work deploy the gear. Did these guys not know they were fighting for their lives ?
