you ask.... ".....What did the PF see? Where was his scan taking him..."
BEA..... "...The PITCH progressed beyond ten degrees, and the a/c started to climb......" (emphasis mine)
I haven't seen data re: AoA just prior and just after a/p loss. Pitch and power, if accomplished would have established a Pitch of far less than Ten degrees, (more like 3.5). So Pitch was not, and did not become, compliant with UAS procedure.
That is it. BEA has the rest. The fifteen seconds on either side of loss of a/p are the meat, the rest is potato. Clearly, the danger to flying passengers has been determined to be within limits, if not the actual data of this accident?
Plenty of time for a measured and patient response from the authority, then?
