"Sorry if I'm dumb .. but .. someone can make a technical comment (explanation)
about the text in bold .. ?
From the 27 May BEA report:
Quote: Around fifteen seconds later, the speed displayed on the ISIS increased sharply towards 185 kt;
it was then consistent with the other recorded speed. The PF continued to make nose-up inputs. The airplane’s altitude reached its maximum of about 38,000 ft, its pitch attitude and angle of attack being 16 degrees."
That is puzzling. If the wing chord angle is zero it makes sense - the plane was moving horizontally through still air. I can't see how it can ever happen if the chord angle is not zero with a horizontally moving plane (which is implied by "reached maximum altitude").
