Gents,
a question - without intending to minimise the difficulty of dealing with a situation like this - espec when the EFIS appears to have been giving very confusing readings, in strong turbulence and a confused flight deck environment - and without intending to insult anyone's intelligence.
Does this model of Airbus have a standby analog artificial horizon on or near the centre of the panel as I have seen in some airliners?
In what would appear to have been a jetupset situation like this, could any experienced airline pilots viewing this thread comment on how feasible it would have been to simply set cruise power and then maintain a wings level, nose level attitude using an analog AH alone?
I know it's aviaition 101 if you go IMC in a light aircraft, but perhaps not in a heavy jet...
