There is no enormous debate about the THS, it behaved correctly and if the correct actions had been taken I am sure the A/C would have been recoverable.
Iceman(appropiate enough),

So you dont think autotrim will feature in the report then?You're quite confident that the automatic application of full ANU tim followed by auto-cutout is a good example of "fail-safe" design?And that the transition from auto to manual (when how why it occurs) is intuitively understood by the poor pilot?So why perpignan and now AF?or the tarom or taipei?
It behaved correctly?It behaved as designed.

You might think your oh-so-clever destruction of Gretchenfrage's points were on the nose but you forget one thing;those planes crashed and Im afraid the pilots didnt really know why they were crashing.THEY DIDNT UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY HAD/HADNT DONE.If a design is ambiguous,then it is deficient.

Do you have anything to say about the stall warning inhibit?Id love to hear your thoughts on this one.Over to you ace.
