BEA Report – The trimmable horizontal stabilizer (THS) passed from 3 to 13 degrees nose-up in about 1 minute and remained in the latter position until the end of the flight.

The last recorded values were a pitch attitude of 16.2 degrees nose-up, a roll angle of 5.3 degrees left and a vertical speed of -10,912 ft/min.


Where is the BEA quoted (THS) trim nose-up angle measured?

Is it an internal computed value displayed on EICAS?

Is it 13.2º on the cockpit pedestal trim wheels?

Is it 13.2º as shown on some aircraft where the horizontal stabiliser (tailplane) leading edge fairing meets the vertical fin?

Or ..... ?
