- we both agree here - it really is less significant who was in which seat, since both pilots were line-qualified. What IS significant, as I have said a few times (it really is crucial and we are not being told!) is what PNF said during this amazing and frightening zoom climb. Until we know that we cannot progress, I feel.
How many of us would sit 'quietly' in this scenario? Was it a mutually agreed manoeuvre? If not, were 'challenges' issued? If it was agreed, why? There, surely, will lie the clues as to what PF was 'seeing'? Any 'leaks'?
To pick up on those questioning the absence of a 'Stall' warning at low IAS - I'm pretty sure that had this been not blocked, there would be a fair chance that they might have recovered and not sensed the need to 'reverse the last input' when it sounded again during recovery. It appears that because the designers were convinced this situation could not develop due to the 'protections' that they didn't bother?
