Takata, re the A340 AIRPROX, you wrote:
In this case, the climb (and pitch increase) is related to this sharp thrust increase (4 engines at 100% N1), being not countered by nose down imput from the PF.
Hmm, the flight controls were in normal mode and no sidestick controller input was made until 28 sec. after AP diconnection when they were already a thousand feet above their assigned level.
I thought that in normal law, compensation for thrust variation was provided.
Anyway, except for human factor aspects, this incident appears unrelated to AF447, this one being in ALT law.
