As I read BEA I was puzzled by THS being in almost full up position for about 3,5 minutes and not changing its position although PF made pitch-down input. Unfortunately report doesn't mention for how long pitch-down input lasted. I took my copy of A330 FCOM (not current one) and found out, please correct if I am wrong, that flight control law could have changed from ALT 2 to Abnormal attitude as angle of attack was greater than 30 deg causing no auto trim available until angle of attack decreases below 30 deg, which according to BEA report did not happen.



Is there any indication in the cockpit when this happens?
