BOAC, cheers, what are the odds, a failure allows the THS to still be used and unfortunately for whatever reason a significant nose down input is not made.

Perhaps Airbus should freeze the THS after an ADR failure and not wait until an abnormal attitude is reached leaving you with an A/C that is possibly trimmed just outside the range of a UA.
SMOC:
1. What do you mean by "freeze the THS": cancel or pre-empt all commands to move it, up or down, unless the pilot manipulates the trim wheel?
