At what altitude? 35K? 25K? 10K? Within 1000 feet of the surface?
Thought my graphic clearly stated in the title - Final Data -, i.e. FL0.
The BEA have indicated that at TOC (FL380) the pitch attitude and AoA were both 16° and the stall was established at that point. As far as I can tell the TE was traded off (as power was reduced) for increased AoA, and the RoD was initially established at around 10K ft/min and only changed slowly to a higher value as air density changed and the AoA became greater.
