But she was trimming for climb, automatically, so much so that the a/c stalled, having lost autothrust and assumedly, "Stall" (aPROT). So this is the deadly combination. A/P drops, a/c climbs, and Stalls. Thirty seconds over Oraro.

This time grab can be parsed at this point to weight a conclusion of wildly general and biased opinion. What happened after the Stall is extremely interesting, but as has been pointed out, minimally important. This a/c should not have Stalled, ever.

For instance, the initial maneuver was accompanied by two separate and brief Stall Warnings. What was the AoA the a/c had trimmed in at a/p drop? What was her Speed? Local airflow? Is ICE absolutely necessary, Willem Occam?
