BEA report unclear
I am French, so I have the happiness to read the BEA report in the text.
It is very confused and incomplete. Don't trust it too much and don't exhaust yourself trying to make a coherent theory from it.
For example, there is not enough informations to understand why the A330 climbed and stalled at 38 000 ft :
> the pilot gives «ordres à cabrer» (pitch-up orders)
> then the PF gives «ordres à piquer» (pitch-down orders)
and then «le PF mantient ses ordres à cabrer» (the PF keeps giving pitch-up ordres)
Obviously, there is something missing here : when did the PF resume his pitch-up orders after having tried the pitch-down orders ? And why ?
The whole report is like this : ill-phrased, hardly understandable and lacunar.
Be careful when you use this report : I thing some very important informations are missing (or withheld ?).
