The only way to have saved the day was to get the trim rolled down manually to get the plane flying again.
Hmmm, looking through all the ACARS and the information we have at the moment I surely must have overseen the part where it was stated that all PRIM's were deactivated. I have seen PRIM1 and SEC1 but nothing more.
Could you point me to the information indicating loss of all PRIM's ?
That would have led to Direct Law btw.
Also I'm missing the part where it was stated that the pilots were vigorously commanding Nose Down only to be overriden by the Trim ?
